ENCORE (5A)

Encore Current to Voltage Transducer / Shunt OVERVIEW Verivolt Encore is part of the Verivolt family of current to voltage transducers designed to measure isolated and ground currents. The main focus of the Encore family is to ease and accelerate measuring the output current from low voltage current sources as well as isolated current transformers (CT). Particular attention was paid on providing a solution that minimizes cost and improves overall performance on distributed systems such as substations, building monitoring, power distribution systems, etc. The Encore series covers the ranges of ±0.1A, ±1A, ±2A, ±3A, ±4A and ±5A with customizable bandwidth of up to 40kHz and 0.2% accuracy SPECIFICATION Eletronical 0.1A 0.5A 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A Scaling Factor (1V output voltage) 1:1 5:1 10:1 20:1 30:1 40:1 50:1 0.5Arms 2.5Arms 5Arms 10Arms 15Arms 20Arms 25Arms 1Ω 200 mΩ 100 mΩ 50 mΩ 333 mΩ 25 mΩ 20 mΩ Overload Current (60Hz sinewave for 10s) Input impedance at 60Hz Output impedance HARDWARE DESCRIPTION Verivolt Encore 5c operates as a current to voltage shunt that generates a ±100mV range signal for it’s nominal input current range. This signal can then be processed by a computer based measurement platform. In conjunction with the EasyConnect family, the Encore is the ideal solution for high channel density applications 2k Ω Accuracy ±0.2% Bandwidth (-3dB point) 40kHz Input-Output non-linearity Output voltage < 40 ppm/V ±100mV Gain temperature drift ±25 ppm/°C Phase mismatch < 0.05°/kHz Output type Single-ended signal Output impedance < ±10μV Output connector BNC (Plug) Functional Diagram of Encore Environmental< ±10μV Operating temperature – 35 to 70 °C Storage temperature – 40 to 80 °C Merchanical Mounting example of Encore Input connector (1-Pin Coaxial) BNC Outer Dimensions (Cylindrical shape) 0.68”Ø x 3.0” Weight 34 g (1.2 oz) Due to its compact size and shape, the Encore can be easily mounted anywhere between the signal source and the data acquisition system. The versions up to 5A may even be used inline with the cable and not require any mounting at all. All can be secured to fixtures using cable ties.
