VCM-EE in Explosion-Proof Enclosure

MPS’ most popular model in a protected  explosion-proof enclosure. Applicable for Explosion-Proof Environments.

For the most complete protection on large, or critical machines, the VCM-E is ideal due to its higher shaft current measurement capacity, uninterrupted grounding, continuous monitoring via 4-20mA signals and alarms for alerting operators to dangerous conditions such as brush performance failure or increase in shaft voltage. VCM-E’s continuously monitor shaft voltage and/or grounding/earthing current providing three 4‑20 mA output signals (per VCM-E) for remote monitoring and trending.

  • Explosion Proof
  • Prevent Shaft Current Damage
  • Shaft Current Sparking Confined or Controlled
  • Train Performance Tracking, Aiding Operation
  • Continuous Train Performance Sensing and Tracking
  • Continuous Train Trending Aiding in Maintenance Scheduling
    • Alarms when shaft grounding devices have lost contact with the shaft.
    • Alarms on high and low grounding current and/or high shaft voltage.
 
OUTPUTS per VCM-E:  
Monitoring:  
Local: 3½ digit liquid crystal display indicating Peak Current, Average Current, Peak Shaft Voltage** and Power/Alarm Check, selected with rotary switch.
Remote:
  • 4 to 20 mA signal representative of Peak Grounding Current 

  • 4 to 20 mA signal representative of Average Grounding Current 

  • 4 to 20 mA signal representative of Peak Shaft Voltage**

Alarms :  
Local: LED for minimum and maximum grounding current and maximum shaft voltage.**
Remote: Open contact on minimum and maximum current, maximum voltage and loss of power supply to the unit.  (User selectable latching is optionally available in Non-Explosion-Proof Enclosures Only)
