Signals with power
The power signal converters These converters are devices designed to transform high-power signals into lower-power signals or vice versa, suitable for processing and analysis by measurement and control equipment. These converters allow high-power signals, such as alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC), to be converted into low-level voltage or current signals, facilitating their monitoring and control in industrial and automation systems.
Main functions of power signal converters:
- High power signal conversion: They transform high power signals into low level signals, suitable for processing by measurement and control equipment.
- Isolation: They provide isolation between the power system and the control equipment, protecting the latter from possible overloads or failures in the power system.
- Signal scaling: They adjust the range of input signals to match the levels required by monitoring and control systems.
Common applications:
- Monitoring of electrical systems: They allow the monitoring of electrical parameters such as voltage, current and power in electrical distribution systems.
- Industrial automation: They facilitate the integration of power signals into control and automation systems, allowing efficient management of industrial processes.
- Protection and control: They are essential in protection and control systems, where it is necessary to monitor and manage high power signals safely and effectively.
It is important to note that the selection of a suitable power signal converter depends on factors such as the type of input signal, the measurement range, the required accuracy and the operating environmental conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with specialized manufacturers or distributors to choose the device that best suits the specific needs of each application.
