The TP-2 senses the electrical power input to a motor (horsepower). The Output is a 4-20 Milliamp LOOP POWERED analog signal proportional to power.
Voltage
120 Volts AC are taken from two of the phases. If the motor starter already has a 120 Volt control transformer, it can be used. Otherwise, install a separate transformer. It is OK if the secondary is grounded. BE SURE TO NOTE WHICH TWO PHASES SUPPLY THE TRANSFORMER.
In a 120/208V three phase system, the 120V MUST come from a transformer connected to two of the phases. The 120V phase to ground voltage cannot be used.
Current
The current signal is taken from the REMAINING phase. Pass this wire directly through the window in the TP-2.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that the current signal comes from the phase that IS NOT supplying the 120 Volt control transformer. Be extra careful when the machine has reversing starters or multi-speed windings. If a wrong phase is used the control will either:
• Work backwards
• Have reduced sensitivity
Analog Output
4-20MA Loop Powered. Max. Loop voltage 28 VDC
Capacity
Select the capacity by turning one (or two) of the Dip
Switches on:
• For smaller motors, take more passes or turns through the window. Example: Passing the wire through twice reduces .5HP to .25HP.
• For larger motors use TP-2 plus Current Transformer or, use Power Cell.
TP-2 With Current Transformer
• Set Dip Switch for 3HP
• CT 5 Amp Secondary though hole
• Full Scale HP = (Primary Volts) (CT Primary) (0.0016) Example: 100:5 Current Transformer, 460 Volts Primary Full Scale HP = (100) (460) (0.0016) = 73.6HP KW=HP x .746
Full Scale HP at 460 Volts with Current Transformer
50:5 36.8HP 200:5 147HP
75:5 55.2HP 300:5 221HP
100:5 73.6HP 400:5 294HP
150:5 110HP 500:5 368HP
REMEMBER: Put the CT on the phase that is not supplying the 120 Volt transformer.
