Ethernet Universal Power Cell

The Universal Power Cell is a Motor Load Sensor that monitors power (HP or KW). It works on both Fixed and Variable Frequency Power and has an Ethernet Connection and an Analog Output. It also works on single phase, DC and brushless DC. The Universal Power Cell has Three Balanced Hall Effect Sensors, each with a flux concentrator. Each phase passes through a window. A voltage sample for each phase is also taken. The Hall Effect Semiconductor des a vector multiplication of the current flow and voltage which also calculates the power factor. The output is proportional to power (HP or KW).

The UPC has an Embedded Web Server, operator can view settings with a browser:
