2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
DynAmp’s new LKAT2 Portable is a lightweight, extremely rugged and easy to use AC / DC
measurement system for currents up to 150kA. Based on DynAmp’s well-proven 3rd
Generation OLOP technology, primary measurement accuracy is 0.25%.
The typical system is offered with a variety of Head ‘Sides’ enabling one system to measure
almost any current on a wide variety of bus bar sizes.
The LKAT2 is particularly well suited to measure power rectifier outputs for control and
protection purposes in electro-chemical processes such aluminum, chlorine, copper,
manganese, titanium, zinc, electroplating, etc.
KEY STANDARD FEATURES
System is compact, light-weight, rugged and easy-to-use.
Industry standard output signals for user instrumentation.
Optional second, fully isolated and independently scaled analog output signal. For example,
the main output can be scaled for 2kA with a ‘dead’ zone (0 amps = 0mA) while the second
analog output can be scaled for 100kA with a live zero for process control purposes (0 amps
= 4mA). Both measurement signals can be converted to voltage signals via plug on
adapters.
When assembled, Head Sides, interconnection cables and all Metering Unit connections are
IP65 rated.
STANDARD SYSTEM INCLUDES
4 or 6 Measuring Head Sides with connection cables (4 sides assemble into one complete
Measuring head).
Specially designed bus bar mounting brackets for temporary installation of Measuring Head
on both running/horizontal and vertical/rising bus bars.
Inter-connection cable (ITC) accepts 4 Head Side cables on one end, and connects to
Metering Unit on the other end.
