New AC Current Controller from AAC Offers Exceptional Protection from System Failures and Current Overloads



Farmingdale, NY, May 2006 -- American Aerospace Controls (AAC), a leading manufacturer of AC and DC current, voltage, power, and frequency transducers, now offers an AC current controller that provides exceptional protection from system failure and current overload damage. The non-intrusive, isolated current-sensing 882 Series incorporates an output relay switch with an LED to indicate on/off status that enables easy and accurate detection of AC current overload or underload to prevent damage to the system.

The 2 A relay also enables the series to turn on an alarm, shut down an electrical system, and provide automatic warning alerts, making the new controllers ideal for multiple current level detection applications.

The new controllers offer exceptional current level measurement flexibility. They provide exceptional accuracy of ±0.5% over an extended frequency range of 50 Hz to 400 Hz and feature a field adjustable current trip point from 20% to 100% of the full scale level range as well as high stability over the operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F). The 882 Series also is available with an optional time delay.

The 882 Series is available in 12 current ranges from 0.2 A to 1 A through 300 A, and comes standard with a five terminal barrier and 0.75" pass-thru hole. Each controller measures only 3.0" x 2.7" x 2.0" (7.62 cm x 6.86 cm x 5.08 cm), and is constructed of high temperature molded plastic that meets UL flammability rating 94V-0. Storage temperature is -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F).

Pricing for an 882 Series controller starts at $147 per unit. Delivery is from stock to three weeks ARO.
