Overview
The Esterline XL3-1K5-PA7-24 is a discontinued 3-phase watt transducer manufactured by Scientific Columbus (AMETEK). This signal conditioner/transmitter converts 3-phase power measurements into a standardized 4-20 mA DC output, making it ideal for industrial process monitoring and control loops where real-time watt feedback is essential. The unit operates at 120 VAC, 60 Hz with a maximum measurement range of 0–1000 watts.
Key Features
- 3-phase, 3-wire configuration with 2 measurement elements
- 4-20 mA DC output for seamless integration with control systems
- Rated for 5 amp input current
- 120 VAC, 60 Hz supply voltage
- 0–1000 watt measurement range
- Compact, robust design suitable for industrial environments
Technical Specifications
The transducer operates on standard industrial power while delivering precise analog output proportional to 3-phase power consumption. Its measurement elements are designed to capture power data across all three phases simultaneously, ensuring accurate total power readout in polyphase systems.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase motor power monitoring
- Industrial equipment power metering
- Process control power feedback loops
- Energy management and load monitoring systems
- Legacy SCADA and DCS integration
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Industrial PLC and DCS systems accepting 4-20 mA analog inputs
