Checking for Transducer Malfunctions

Situation

[Japan]

When testing transducers (convertors) in a distribution board, there are cases where the central monitoring system cannot be started up. In such situations, the output wiring of the transducer was disconnected and a digital multimeter was connected for measurement. 
Similarly, when abnormal readings appeared on the central monitoring system on a board in operation, disconnecting the transducer output wiring during operation posed a high risk. Therefore, transducer testing was carried out during scheduled power outages to check for any malfunctions.

Solutions

Introduced DC MILLIAMP CLAMP LOGGER KEW 2510

Customer Reviews

When the central monitoring system could not be started, we had to disconnect multiple wires before taking measurements. However, we can now perform measurements simply by installing the KEW 2510 on the transducer output wiring.
This eliminated the need for wire disconnection, reconnection, and verification, resulting in a significant reduction in work time.
In addition, when abnormal readings appear on the central monitoring system, we compare the values indicated on the meter at the site with the readings obtained from the KEW 2510 installed on the transducer output wiring. This allows us to quickly confirm whether the transducer is malfunctioning. As a result, we were able to immediately identify faulty transducers and replace them during the next scheduled outage, significantly shortening the overall retrofit schedule.
