The CurrentWatch ECSJ Series current operated switches from Eaton’s
electrical business provide the same
dependable indication of status
offered by the CurrentWatch ECS
Series, but with the added benefit of
increased setpoint precision. A
choice of three, jumper-selectable
input ranges allows the ECSJ Series
to be tailored to an application, providing more precise control through
improved setpoint resolution. Selfpowering, isolated solid-state outputs, 1 – 6A, 6 – 40A and 40 – 200A
input ranges, and a choice of split- or
solid-core enclosures are standard.
For typical applications of the CurrentWatch ECSJ Series, see listing to the
right.
