The transducers designed and manufactured by American Aerospace Controls (AAC) since 1965 induce the magnetic energy on the desired measured line into an electrical output signal and/or a switch function. AAC takes market input to create transducers to meet customer sensing needs. The standard products that are offered at www.a-a-c.com are purchased on a daily basis by customers who use this sensing ability to achieve electrical isolation. The isolation of the conditioned output signal from the input current or voltage protects the programmable controller from destructive system variations. There are different transducers for desired measured inputs like AC current peak to peak, AC current RMS, DC current uni-directional (positive values), bi-directional current (DC negative and positive values and/or within a bandwidth), AC voltage, AC voltage suppressed (output signal starts at a prescribed voltage value), DC voltage (uni- & bi-directional) etc. The output electrical signal for a uni-directional unit is 0 - 5VDC or 4 - 20 mA for looped power that is proportional to the measured input. The output signal for a bi-directional unit is +/- 0 - 5VDC that is proportional to the measured input. The output signals listed are not exclusive. This sensing ability provides the engineer another choice to electrically isolate the system from the controls. Go to www.a-a-c.com and explore the same transducers that engineers at Boeing, General Motors, Vulcan Materials and many others from various markets specify and purchase daily.
