Electrical Sensors / Detectors / Transducers
Transducers enable true RMS voltage and current measurement.
Press Release Summary:
Single-phase, RoHS-compliant MVTR and MCTR series are respectively used for measuring true RMS voltage and true RMS current in diverse industrial environments. Supplied in 35 mm DIN rail enclosure, products impart fully isolated, 4-20 mA output proportional to related input voltage or current for sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal inputs found among variable frequency applications. Instrument power is supplied via control industry standard 4-20 mA loop power to facilitate installation.

Ohio Semitronics Announces the MVTR and MCTR Transducer Series for Accurate, Economical and True RMS Voltage and Current Measurement
Hilliard, Ohio - Ohio Semitronics, Inc. (OSI), the leader in the manufacture of electrical sensors and transducers for industrial and military applications, announced the MVTR and MCTR series of single-phase, RoHS compliant transducers for the measurement of voltage and current in applications requiring a true RMS calculation of the transducer input.
"Specifically designed to provide a cost-effective, yet accurate solution that also reliably measures true RMS voltage and current in range of industrial environments, MVTR and MCTR transducers uniquely combine desirable electrical transducer performance features all in one compact 35mm DIN rail enclosure at a competitive price," explained Bill Hogue, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at OSI.
The MVTR units measure true RMS voltage, while the MCTR models measure true RMS current. All MVTR and MCTR models impart a fully isolated 4-20mA output proportional to the related input voltage and current, respectively, for the sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal inputs found commonly among variable frequency applications. Instrument power is supplied via a control industry standard 4-20mA loop power to facilitate easy and low-cost installation.
