Current Switches What this product does Detects electrical current flow and converts it into a reliable on/off signal for control, monitoring, or protection circuits. Provides a simple way to monitor conductors without interrupting the circuit. Key benefits — why you need it Prevents equipment damage and unexpected downtime by enabling early detection of overcurrent, phase loss, or no-load conditions. Simplifies integration with PLCs, relays, alarms, and control panels to automate responses and alert operators. Reduces troubleshooting time by giving clear pass/fail or status signals instead of relying on indirect measurements. Core attributes Function: Non-invasive current sensing and binary switching output for control and safety applications. Compatibility: Designed to interface with standard control systems, relays, and monitoring equipment. Suitable for use on single conductors in typical AC or DC installations when matched to your system requirements. Size: Available in compact formats to fit control panels and dense wiring environments as well as larger formats for higher-current conductors. Material and construction: Built with durable insulating housings and reliable contact/sensing elements to withstand normal industrial and commercial conditions. Performance: Provides consistent switching response for repetitive monitoring and control tasks; performance should be matched to the electrical characteristics of your installation. Practical use scenarios Motor protection: Detects motor run/no-run or stall conditions and signals a relay or PLC to stop the motor or trigger an alarm. Energy monitoring and control: Interfaces with building management or automation systems to report circuit activity and enable load shedding or sequencing. Equipment fault detection: Monitors individual feeders or branch circuits to alert maintenance staff to overloads, phase loss, or unexpected current draw. Installation and selection tips Choose a switch size and sensing method appropriate to conductor diameter and nominal current of the circuit. Verify compatibility with control voltages and input types on your monitoring or control equipment. Follow standard electrical safety and wiring practices during installation and commissioning. Reliable, straightforward current switching for monitoring, protection, and control applications where clear binary status is required.
