Description
The G468 is a DIN rail mount,
AC input signal conditioner
with 1800VDC isolation between
input, output and power. The
field configurable input and
output offers flexible, wide
ranging capa- bility for scaling,
converting or buffering AC inputs
ranging from 5mA to 100mA or
50mV to 250V.
For
AC current measurements above
100mA, use the model C006 shunt
resistor (0.1 Ohm, 5Watt). This
resistor must be wired in series
with the current source, with
the G468 configured to measure
the voltage generated across
the resistor (see Figure 3 for
an example).
The
DC output of the G468 is proportional
to the average of the fully-rectified
AC input signal, and is calibrated
for sine waves between 40-400Hz.

Application
The G468 is useful in applications
requiring an isolated, condi-
tioned DC output from an AC
signal. Typical applications
include energy management, load
shedding, motor current/load
monitor- ing, locked rotor detection,
isolation and data acquisition.
The output of the G468 can drive
a digital meter for direct display
or it can interface with alarm
or control devices, including
PLCs and computers.
