Techna-CheckModel PWM3120T - Load Transducer for 3-phase AC Loads

SHARE

An ultra-fast measurement and ultra-precise transducer specifically developed for Machine Tool Monitoring applications. The PWM3120T is a unique design based on the fastest available 32-bit Microcontroller and 18-bit successive approximation AD Converters. A sampling rate of 150kHz ensures precise and correct measurement even when used with Frequency Inverters with 20kHz PWM base frequencies and higher.

  • The PWM3120T is designed primarily for measuring AC power consumed by motors driven by Variable Frequency Inverters. AC power is measured from the formula:
  • Where: T = period, V(t) = voltage and I(t) = current.        
  • The PWM3120T Power Transducer is specifically developed to function as a load transducer for the TECHNA- CHECK® Range of Machine Tool Monitors.
  • A Power Transducer for Tool-Monitoring must be fast and accurate. Sometime the measurement speed is as high as one half period, unlike commercial powermeters, which measure power averaged over several seconds.
  • Please note that most commercial Power Meters will not even be able to measure Power correctly after a Variable Frequency Inverter. The trans-ducer interfaces to Tool Monitor Applications via the proprietary TTBus interface.
  • The shunts (resistors actually) used by this de-vice represents the most accurate, linear and insensitive to external electromagnetic fields sensor available (unlike Hall Sensors and Current Transformers).
