NK Technologies has been manufacturing ground fault and residual current sensors for over two decades with a wide variety of models to suit specific applications. With such a wide variety available, it can be complicated to select the appropriate model. We hope this short guide will help you navigate through the model selection. How large are the conductors feeding the monitored load? Our ground fault sensors will not "see" any current under normal conditions, but all current carryin …

For a given current flow, a proportional magnetic field is produced around the current carrying conductor. NK Technologies current sensors measure this field using one of two technologies. For DC currents, we use “Hall effect” while for AC currents, we use “Inductive” technology. The Hall effect sensor has a core, Hall effect device and signal conditioning circuitry. The current conductor passes through a magnetically permeable core that concentrates the conductor’ …

ATS receives Silver award in the electrical controls category SAN JOSE, CA - March 19, 2013 - The ATS Current Sensing Switch and Transducer from NK Technologies has received the Silver award for Electrical Controls in the 2012 Plant Engineering magazine Product of the Year contest. The ATS series is a compact one piece solution that combines a limit alarm with an analog output signal transducer to monitor produced or consumed AC current up to 1200 amps, while magnetically isolating outputs and …
