Voltage Current Monitors (VCM’s)

1.
Will your Voltage-Current monitor work with my existing grounding device?

MPS' monitors work with most manufacturers' devices.  Engineers are always available to answer any questions you may have regarding this issue.

2.
Which VCM should I use?

For most applications, the VCM-EN is the right choice for continuous monitoring and remote outputs (4-20mA signals) with alarms.  Explosion-proof, rack mount and multi-units in a single enclosure are also options.  MPS engineers will help guide you to the unit that best suits your needs.

3.
My shaft current always has some brief, sharp current spikes; will the VCM be in alarm all the time?

Generators are known for being particularly noisy.  MPS has designed a unit specifically for this reason which looks at the peak of the average current and ignores the transient high currents.

4.
Does the VCM have current and voltage outputs that I can send to my PLC?
