The CurrentWatch ECS Series from


Eaton’s electrical business is a family
of solid-state adjustable current
switches, ideal for providing status
information on electrical equip-
ment. The ECS is excellent for new
installations, where the conductors
run through the housing, requiring no
cutting. These switches are also ideal
for retrofits, since split-core models
can be opened to fit around existing Easy Setup and Switches Are

The CurrentWatch ECS7 Series load


monitoring switches from Eaton’s
electrical business are designed for
overload, underload or operating
window applications. Upon sensing
an average operating current, the
ECS7 Series self-learns and estab-
lishes a limit-alarm trip point based
on ± 15% of the average expected Built-In Mounting Tabs
current draw. The ECS7 Series is for Quick Installation
available in solid- or split-core hous-
ing styles.

■ Universal Output — AC or DC compatibility with any automation system
■ UL Listed
■ UL, C-UL and CE Approved — Accepted worldwide

The CurrentWatch ECSTD Series


from Eaton’s electrical business is a
family of high performance current-
operated switches with field-
adjustable time delay to help minimize Built-In Mounting Tabs
nuisance trips during start-up and
operation. Designed for motor status
applications where setpoint accuracy
and repeatability are critical, the Split- and Solid-Core
ECSTD Series offers a linear setpoint Models, All Self-Powered
characteristic and constant hysteresis.
Standard features include self-
powering, jumper-selectable ranges
and a choice of outputs and housing Product Features
styles. ■ Adjustable Start-Up/Delay Timer — Field adjustable from 0 – 15 seconds to
For typical applications of the Current- eliminate nuisance alarms due to start-up inrush or temporary overcurrent
Watch ECSTD Series, see listing to conditions
the right. ■ Choice of N.O./N.C. AC or Universal Outputs — Contact ratings of 1.0A @
240V AC or universal outputs of 0.15A @ 240V AC/DC (N.O. models) and
Approvals 0.2A @ 135V AC/DC (N.C. models) for use with most standard motor control
systems
■ UL Listed ■ Improved Ease of Installation and Use — Self-powered, split-core models
■ C-UL Listed simplify installation, 1.0A AC rating eliminates need for time delay relay,
and status LED provides visual indication of setpoint trip and contact action
Pending
■ Industrial Grade Performance — Constant hysteresis and linear response
characteristics enhance setpoint accuracy
■ Agency Approved — UL Listed, CE pending

Typical Applications
■ Motor Protection — Serves as an electronic proof-of-operation; detects
current draw changes in motors when they encounter problems such as
pumps running dry or pending bearing failure; non-intrusive and less
expensive to install than differential pressure flow sensors or thermal
switches; much quicker response time than Class 10 overload relays
■ High Inrush or Temporary Overload Current — Adjustable start-up/delay
timer allows 0 – 15 second delay to eliminate nuisance trips from high
inrush or short overload conditions

■ Average Responding — “Average Responding” algorithm gives an RMS
■ UL Listed output on pure sine waves, perfect for constant speed (linear) loads
■ C-UL Listed ■ Jumper-Selectable Ranges — The ability to change input ranges reduces
inventory and eliminates zero and span
■ Isolation — Output is magnetically isolated from the input for safety and
 EACP models not listed. elimination of insertion loss (voltage drop)
■ UL, C-UL and CE Approved — Accepted worldwide

Typical Applications
■ Automation Equipment — Analog current reading for remote monitoring
and software alarms
■ Data Loggers — Self-powered sensor helps conserve data logger batteries
■ Panel Meters — Simple connection displays power consumption

The CurrentWatch EACR Series


current sensor family from Eaton’s
electrical business combines a current
sensor and a “True RMS” signal
conditioner into a single package. The Built-In Mounting
EACR Series provides True RMS
output on distorted waveforms found
on VFD or SCR outputs, and on linear
loads in “noisy” power environments.
Available in solid- or split-core
housings. Product Features
For typical applications of the Current- ■ True RMS Output — True RMS technology is accurate on distorted wave-
Watch EACR Series, see listing to the forms like VFD or SCR outputs
right. ■ Jumper-Selectable Ranges — Reduces inventory and eliminates zero
and span
Approvals ■ Isolation — Output is magnetically isolated from the input for safety and
elimination of insertion loss (voltage drop)
■ UL Listed
■ UL, C-UL and CE Approved — Accepted worldwide
■ C-UL Listed
Typical Applications
■ VFD Controlled Loads — Monitoring VFD output indicates how the motor
and attached load are operating
■ SCR Controlled Loads — Accurate measurement of phase angle fired or
burst fired (time proportioned) SCRs, with faster current measurement than
temperature sensors
■ Switching Power Supplies and Electronic Ballasts — True RMS sensing is
the most accurate way to measure power supply or ballast input power

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. The Current-
Watch EACR Series current sensors 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. Select the EACR Series sensors for nonlinear loads in “noisy”
power environments.

“Zero Sum” Operating Principle


In three-phase delta and wye systems, under normal conditions, current in the
“hot” leg of a two-wire load is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the
current in a neutral leg. As a result, the electromagnetic fields surrounding these
two conductors cancel, producing a “zero sum current.” As soon as current leaks
to ground (fault condition), the two currents become imbalanced and a net
magnetic field results. The CurrentWatch EGF Series sensors monitor this field
and trips the contacts when the leakage rises above the setpoint.

Latching (Mechanical Relay Output) Models


Latching models power up initially in the rest (normal) mode. If there is a fault
condition or the test button is pushed, the output contacts will change state
and latch. The output will remain latched regardless of whether the fault is
cleared or control power is removed. To reset the output, apply a momentary
contact across “reset” terminals.

■ Regulatory — Meets requirements as stipulated by governmental and

“Zero Sum” Operating Principle


In three-phase delta and wye systems, under normal conditions, current in the
‘hot’ leg of a two-wire load is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the cur-
rent in a neutral leg. As a result, the electromagnetic fields surrounding these
two conductors cancel, producing a “zero sum current.” As soon as current
leaks to ground (fault condition), the two currents become imbalanced and a
net magnetic field results. The CurrentWatch EGFL Series sensors monitor this
field and trip alarm contacts when the leakage rises above the setpoint.
