LAX 100-NP Sensors, Transducers

The LAX 100-NP is a high-level current transducer that is widely used for various applications due to its accurate measurements, low power requirements, and low cost. It can be used for a wide variety of applications, including battery monitoring, photovoltaic system monitoring, motor control, automotive charging, etc. This transducer measures current by sensing the magnetic field that is created by a current-carrying conductor. It is then able to convert this measured magnetic field into an electrical output signal.

The LAX 100-NP is a two-wire transducer with a nominal supply voltage of 24V DC. The operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C, and it operates over a frequency range of DC to 20 kHz. The transducer is capable of measuring currents up to 1000A in a 1-A resolution. It provides a voltage output signal of 10mV per Amp, which is linear with varying load from zero to full-scale value. The transducer also has an adjustable gain and zero adjustment for precise calibration.

The working principle of the LAX 100-NP can be best understood by looking at the two primary components of the unit: the PCB and the ADCs. The PCB is the printed circuit board which contains the required components for the input, output, and calibration of the transducer. The ADCs (Analog-to-Digital Converters) are the outputs that are used to process the data coming from the transformer. The PCB is divided into two main sections: the input section and the output section. The input section contains the required components for the sensing of the magnetic field, which is then converted into a digital signal. This signal is then sent to the ADCs, which are used for processing the data.

The output section of the PCB contains the components for the conversion of the digital signal into an electrical output signal. This signal is then sent to the load, which could be a display device, motor, etc. The output section also includes the components for the adjustment of the voltage gain and zero adjustments. These components are used for the calibration of the transducer. This enables the unit to be able to provide accurate measurements.

The LAX 100-NP provides accurate and reliable measurements for a wide variety of applications. It is capable of measuring both AC and DC currents, and can be used for a variety of applications, such as battery monitoring, photovoltaic system monitoring, motor control, automotive charging, etc. With its adjustable gain and zero adjustment, the unit can be precisely calibrated and provides reliable measurements. The unit is also very inexpensive, making it ideal for those on a budget.
