Radford Control Systems Power / Energy Monitoring
System APN and APO Series of energy Monitors

 

  • Patented AutoPhase technology actually corrects common wiring errors.
  • Analogue and network models available..
  • AutoPhase Advantage
  • AutoPhase makes power transducer installation simple.
  • There are over 40 ways to wire up a 3 phase, 4 wire kW transducer. For example, reversing the orientation of a CT flips the output waveform, tricking ordinary watt transducers into thinking there is a 180 degree phase shift. Or if CT and voltage inputs are mismatched, the transducer thinks there is a 120 degree phase shift. Either way, you have a problem.
  • AutoPhase identifies the phases and polarity automatically and corrects for the error in software. This eliminates flashing "ERROR" lights, tedious and dangerous reconnecting of inputs. AutoPhase even tells you which CTs are reversed and which phases are mismatched!

AutoPhase is protected by US Patent 5,652,505


APN Series
RS232/422, 24 data points 100-600VAC 5-10,000A

Features

  • Direct Modbus Connection with no expensive interface.
  • Patented AutoPhaseÔ technology corrects common wiring errors such as CT reversal and phase mismatch. This can save hours of field labour!
  • Meter Grade Digital accuracy.
  • Advanced microprocessor running at 5 MIPS (faster than many PCs) allows measurement up to the 70th harmonic.




Accepts ProteCT Current Transformers with 0.333 V safe output that eliminates need for costly shorting blocks. Also accepts traditional 5 Amp out CTs

APO Series
4-20MA & pulse outputs 100-600VAC 5-10,000A Kb

Features

  • Meter Grade Digital accuracy for reliable measurement.
  • Advanced microprocessor running at 5 MIPS (faster than many PCs!) provides high-speed sampling, accuracy and flexibility impossible with traditional kW/kWH transducers.
  • Accepts ProteCT Current Transformers with 0.333 V safe output... Eliminates need for costly shorting blocks
  • Accepts traditional current output (5 Amp) CTs... reuse your existing CTs.

Available as a bare circuit board (OEM Applications), Transducer Module for mounting in your panel or pre-mounted in a NEMA-1 panel. Get exactly what you need.
