Lucy Electric Digital Solutions.

Suitable for indoor and outdoor environments for LV substation monitoring, power quality monitoring and building energy monitoring applications.

FlexiSensor

  • EZ02000123_1 2m
  • EZ02000055_1 3m
  • EZ02000124_1 4m

The new FlexiSensor 3 phase flexible current sensor utilises the non-saturating Rogowski principle for measurement of AC current.

A robust but flexible design for retro-fitting in compact situations. Suitable for indoor and outdoor environments for LV substation monitoring, power quality monitoring and building energy monitoring applications.

The FlexiSensor is supplied with the individual head sensitivity and phase error programmed to the EEPROM

1) The output from a Rogowski coil is linear and does not saturate like a conventional CT.

2) Output sensitivity is proportional to frequency, Rogowski coils need to be used with a suitable integrator.

3) At 23°C

4) External conductor of at least ⌀15 mm the same current level as internal conductor, perpendicular and in contact with the Rogowski coil

5) Only partially fulfills this standard as a Rogowski coils have fundamental differences compared to conventional CT’s
