The Model UPC Adjustable Capacity Power Sensor delivers true motor power monitoring across virtually any motor-driven application. With a full-scale capacity adjustable to match your specific motor from small motors up to 150HP, the UPC maximises sensitivity without compromise. Self-contained with no PTs or CTs to install, it works seamlessly across fixed frequency, variable frequency, single phase, and DC motors, outputting dual analog signals for direct integration with meters, programmable controllers, and chart recorders. From detecting viscosity shifts and optimising feed rates to identifying overloads and loss-of-load conditions, the UPC brings true power intelligence to your most demanding applications.

FAQs

Q: What makes the UPC different from a standard current sensor?

Current sensors only measure amps, which can be misleading when power factor changes. The UPC measures true power in horsepower, giving a far more accurate and sensitive picture of actual motor load.

Q: Which motor types is the UPC compatible with?

The UPC works with 3-phase, single-phase, AC, DC, fixed frequency, and variable frequency motors, covering virtually every motor type found in industrial environments.

Q: How do I know which UPC model is right for my motor size?

The UPC family covers motors from under 1HP to 150HP. For larger motors, the PH-1000 is available. Our team can help match the right model to your specific motor and application.

Q: Can UPC data be integrated into my existing control system?

Yes. The UPC outputs standard 0–10V and 4–20mA analog signals. The UPC-MB variant adds Modbus connectivity for direct integration with SCADA, DCS, and IIoT platforms.

Q: Is the UPC suitable for safety-critical applications?

Yes. All UPC models are UL rated and SIL-2 capable, meeting the safety integrity requirements of chemical, pharmaceutical, and other demanding process environments.
