Sensors and limit switches

The CurrentWatch ECS Series is a family of solid-state adjustable current switches, ideal for providing status information on electrical equipment.

The ECS is excellent for new installations, where the conductors run through the housing, requiring no cutting. These switches are also ideal for retrofits, because split-core models can be opened to fit around existing conductors. The current switch is accurate, reliable and easy to install.

The ECS can sense continuous currents from 1 to 150 A and does not require any supply voltage, as the power required is induced from the monitored conductor. The output is a non-polarity-sensitive solid-state contact for switching AC and DC circuits up to 240 Vac/Vdc.

This switch also includes an LED indicating two states: on and below trip point, and above trip point with contacts energized.

All ECS Series switches carry an unconditional five-year warranty.
