Miniature Fixed Status Current Switches
MCS & MSCS Series
The Miniature Fixed Current Status” Switches are designed for use in any AC current monitoring application in which you are looking for a fixed trip point to monitor the “Go/No Go” (On/Off) ”Status” for a particular piece of equipment. The fixed current switches should be installed on the line side of the power to the motor, pump, compressor or other equipment. All of the miniature current switches are available in both solid and split-core versions in a smaller enclosure style than that of the A/CS2 and A/SCS2 Series fixed current switches rated for higher operating currents. The solid-core versions are a great choice for new installations or OEM applications in which cost sensitivity, lower trip points and environmental issues may be of concern. The split-core version of the current switches work great in retrofit applications and for use in service vehicles since one part will work in most applications and can be installed without disconnecting any wires. Fixed status switches can also be used to determine the run time of your equipment when logging the contact closures on your building management system or PLC.
