FAQs

What is the current monitoring range of the Model 27 True RMS Current Monitor, and how is it achieved for high currents?
The Model 27 monitors AC current from 0.5A to 1200A. For currents exceeding 5A at the terminals, an external Current Transformer (CT) is utilized, supporting ratios from 5:5 to 1200:5.
What are the output contact specifications for the Model 27 monitor?
The unit features two SPDT output contacts, each rated for 10 Amps at 240V AC resistive load. These contacts provide control for various industrial applications.
How can trip delays and restart behavior be configured on the Model 27?
High and low trip delays are configurable from 0 to 20.0 seconds in 0.1-second steps. The restart function can be set to either automatic or manual, with automatic restart delays adjustable from 1 to 300 minutes.
