Accuenergy Launches RCT GRIP Kit Rogowski Coil Mounting Kit
Toronto, ON, March 6, 2025 – Accuenergy is proud to present the RCT Guaranteed Rogowski Installation Performance (GRIP) Kit, a Rogowski coil mounting solution designed to firmly secure the AcuCT Flex around an electrical conductor to ensure optimal alignment and precise measurement accuracy.
With the introduction of the RCT GRIP Kit mounting solution, it allows the AcuCT Flex Rogowski coil to be fully utilized for revenue-grade metering applications. The placement of a Rogowski coil is crucial to meet high accuracy requirements and reduce measurement errors that can be costly for businesses. Its reliability stems from the RCT GRIP Kit’s ability to lock the Rogowski coil in place for perfect alignment to its optimal accuracy location and to set the air core perpendicular to the conductor. The optimal alignment maximizes the magnetic linkage, boosting the measurement accuracy and efficiency of the AcuCT Flex.
Rogowski coils measure AC current flowing through a conductor. This current transformer is designed with an air-core offering impressive flexibility. They are adaptable, easy-to-install and lightweight, with superior measurement accuracy compared to traditional current transformers, making them essential to modern energy metering infrastructures with difficult installation environments.
The AcuCT Flex series are Rogowski coils manufactured by Accuenergy. It offers 0.5% measurement accuracy and is highly reliable for various energy metering and power quality applications. Especially suited for harmonics monitoring with its wide current and frequency sensing range.
"The RCT GRIP Kit is a robust mounting solution for Accuenergy’s AcuCT Flex Rogowski coils," says Gift Wang, Engineering Manager at Accuenergy. "By fixing the conductor alignment and improving the stability, the mount can deliver consistent and reliable accuracy performance at optimal levels, which is essential for revenue-grade metering applications."
Improve Measurement Accuracy for Revenue-Grade Tenant Billing
Rogowski coils measure alternating currents by detecting magnetic fields around a conductor. However, when the conductor is not centred or perpendicular to the Rogowski coil window, some magnetic field may bypass the coil, possibly leading to reduced sensitivity and less accurate measurements.
The RCT GRIP Kit aims to prevent this from happening by making sure the AcuCT Flex is securely installed and properly aligned. This can maximize the magnetic flux linkage and further improve the accuracy level of AcuCT Flex, making this combination ideal for revenue-grade tenant billing applications.
Ease Mechanical Strain
When the Rogowski coil is not properly installed and secured, it can put mechanical stress on its connectors and other internal components. The RCT GRIP Kit can help ease the mechanical strain on the Rogowski coil and potentially extend its durability. Users can rely on the RCT GRIP Kit to improve the accuracy and long-term reliability of their AcuCT Flex Rogowski coils.
Minimize Safety Risks
A secured Rogowski coil installation can improve safety by reducing risks such as worn insulations created through direct contact with the conductor, which can cause short circuiting. These safety risks can cause serious consequences if not managed properly, especially under harsh industrial environment.
By fixing a Rogowski coil securely onto the conductor, the RCT GRIP Kit minimizes the risk of such safety hazards by preventing unwanted movements.
Designed for Various Conductor Types
The RCT GRIP Kit is designed to be easily installed on both busbars and cables, making it a suitable solution for a wide range of applications. With the flexible design, users can install the AcuCT Flex onto any type of conductors and achieve improved measurement accuracy and enhanced performance with ease.
Feature Highlights
- Improving measurement accuracy of the AcuCT Flex by ensuring proper conductor alignment.
- Adaptable design that can be easily installed on both busbars and cable conductors.
- Minimize unwanted movement or misalignment of the Rogowski coil during operation.
- Ease mechanical strain on AcuCT Flex to extend lifespan and improve long-term reliability.
