Measuring energy usage with UPC-KWH
Now available from sensing specialists Vydas International Marketing is the Universal Power Cell (UPC-KWH) – a high-performance motor load sensor specifically designed, say the company, to cope with the most difficult load sensing tasks when other power sensors and motor load controls are unable to function reliably, such as on the output of variable frequency or inverter drives.
Manufactured by US-based Load Controls, Inc., the unit can be used in conjuction with the associated KWH-3 energy meter and the DM-100 load sensor, making it suitable for use in many applications, including mixture viscosity, tool condition, optimum feed rate, pump/fan flow, and detecting obstructions and overloads.
The KWH-3 meter takes the pulsed energy output from the UPC-KWH and displays the actual power usage in kWh, kWmin or kWs, while the reset is at the front panel key pad or remote device.
The DM-100 load meter monitors the analogue output from the power sensor and can be calibrated to read the motor load in percentage, horsepower or kW on a bright LED display.
The UPC-KWH is suitable for single-phase and three-phase AC/DC motors, and does not use current or external voltage transformers.
