Digital AC ammeters offer analogue
replacement
True-RMS-AC ammeters use low-power bright-red LED displays with easy-to-read full-size 9.4mm-high characters.
Billed as the world's first true-RMS responding digital AC ammeters with built-in current transformers, the Datel ACA-20RM series from Murata Power Solutions provide direct measurement of the true-RMS values of complex nonsinusoidal AC currents between 2 and 50A Ideal for use in the latest computer and telecomms equipment, the compact self-powered single-board modules feature large, easy-to-read LED displays and provide an ideal replacement for older, less reliable, analogue panel meters

Novel interface is perfect for convertor mounting
Position Perfect is a novel surface mount interface technology claimed to provide enhanced mechanical integrity and improved mounting accuracy for DC/DC convertors.
Surface mount inductors have inbuilt shielding
Offering a wide range of inductance values and featuring integral EMI shielding, the latest inductors from C and D Technologies (NCL) will suit power designs that have limited PCB space.
The Datel ACA-20RM series comprises five models with current ranges of: 0-0.2A (0.1mA resolution), 0-2A (0.001A resolution), 0-20A (0.01A resolution), 0-30A (0.1A resolution), and 0-50A (0.1A resolution).
The modules are self-powered with both 120V (85-140V AC) and 220V (170-264V AC) versions available.
Power consumption is less than 50mA.
The onboard miniature high-turns-ratio current transformers provide an accurate and straightforward way to measure AC load currents.
The 50A model features an over-sized split core transformer to ease installation and accommodate wires up to 4AWG (21.1mm2).
All Datel ACA-20RM series true-RMS-AC ammeters use low-power bright-red LED displays with easy-to-read full-size 9.4mm-high characters.
The self-contained design of the modules enhances reliability and means that no external components are required.
Precision auto-zeroing circuitry, super-stable components and an RMS-to-DC convertor circuit combine to give the Datel ACA-20RM series excellent performance.
A built-in bezel/filter assembly with metal fasteners allows straightforward assembly of the new ammeters into customer applications.
All models use UL and CSA recognised components.
Operating temperature range is 0 to +60C. Request a free brochure from Murata Power Solutions ...
