Split-core transformer 333mV for energy saving

High energy costs, decentralised generation and energy agreements make energy saving a priority. ELEQ offers a variety of measurement solutions.

Changes are accelerating. Where you used to be able to look years ahead, it is now often difficult to plan a year ahead. The ever-increasing demand for energy, problems with the transport network, decentralized generation and the increasing demand for electric transport mean that the network design and (peak) consumption must be adjusted in the short term. In addition, the grid is more polluted by decentralized generation and today’s equipment is more sensitive to this pollution, which can cause disruptions.

Smart automation

Smart energy monitoring offers the solution to optimize energy consumption. Think, for example, of making it possible to read and control energy consumption locally and remotely. To achieve this, ELEQ has developed a complete energy management line with current and voltage transformers.

Transformers with a 333mV output

Because measurements often have to be done in existing situations, ELEQ has developed both very small current transformers (RM17 and RM27) and split-core transformers (TQ line). This line has now been expanded with products with a low voltage output, such as 333mV. The advantages of a low voltage output are that they are safer and easy to install:

The transformer does no longer needs to be short-circuited.
There is less cable loss, which means that much longer and thinner cables can be used.
Thinners cables offer the opportunity to be manufactured with, for example, RJ plugs.

In short, ELEQ offers the solution for proper measurement in smarter energy monitoring.
