The CurrentWatch EPRM Series from
Eaton’s electrical business is a family
of DIN-rail compatible, splitcurrent sensors. Product features
include a large aperture, switchselectable inputs and outputs and
isolation between primary and secondary circuits. A patented technology eliminates the use of a magnetic
core and protects the sensor against
saturation and damage, which can
occur from continuous exposure to
high currents. Models available up
to 400A and with 0 – 5/0 – 10V DC or
4 – 20 mA outputs as standard.
For typical applications of the

Product Features
■
True RMS Output Models Available — True RMS technology is accurate
on distorted waveforms like VFD or SCR outputs
Switch-Selectable Input and Output Ranges — Field selectable input
■
accommodates multiple AC current ranges, while voltage output models
offer choice of 0 – 5V DC or 0 – 10V DC analog outputs
■
Application Versatility — Supports input ranges of up to 400A and standard
50/60 Hz or distorted (VFD, SCR) loads
Agency Approvals and Patented Technology — CE Approved and UL 508
■
Pending with a patented technology that eliminates problems inherent with
magnetic technology such as core saturation
Typical Applications
Motor Control Centers — Motor status monitoring for pumps and
■
conveyors, and can be used with panel meters for inexpensive indication
of motor current status
Automation and Data Logging — Loop-powered units help conserve data
■
logger batteries and 0 – 10V/4 – 20 mA outputs are ideal for remote
monitoring and alarm functions and are compatible with most automation
systems and PLCs
■
VFD Controlled Loads — Monitoring VFD output indicates how the motor
and attached load are operating
Why “True RMS”?
The current waveform of a typical linear load is a pure sine wave. In VFD and
SCR applications, however, output waveforms are rough approximations of a
sine wave. There are numerous spikes and dips in each cycle. Certain models
in the CurrentWatch™ EPRM Series use a mathematical algorithm called
“True RMS” which integrates the actual waveform over time. The output is
the amperage component of the true power (heating value) of the AC current
waveform. True RMS is the only way to accurately measure distorted AC
waveforms.
