Description
The NI-9246 is a C Series Analog Input module designed to meet a variety of needs for measuring current in your application. The module, with part number 158510A-02L (783920-01), supports a sampling rate of up to 50 kS/s/ch, allowing for precise and accurate measurements.
It features a 3-Channel, 24-Bit configuration, offering flexibility and high-resolution data acquisition. This Current Input Module is capable of handling an input range of ±30 A peak, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
For connectivity, it employs a Direct Ring Lug system, ensuring secure and reliable connections. The module is compatible with 1 and 5 Ampere current transformers (CTs), providing versatility in its use across different setups.
One of the key features of the NI-9246 is its robust isolation capabilities, offering up to 480 Vrms Channel-to-Channel, and 300 Vrms Channel-to-Earth CAT III isolation. This high level of isolation ensures safe operation even in environments with high voltage levels.
When it comes to input noise, the module boasts an impressively low figure, as low as 0.25 mArms, enhancing the accuracy of measurements. Additionally, AC Coupling is supported on all channels, further extending its application range.
Each channel in the NI-9246 utilizes a Delta-Sigma ADC, ensuring precise data conversion with minimal error. The module also comes equipped with overcurrent protection, capable of handling 50 Arms continuously, 100 Arms for 10 seconds, and 1250 Arms for 1 cycle, safeguarding the module against unexpected current spikes.
