Project Title:
Motor Electric Current Sensor Development
Project Collaborators:
Alcoa
This project entailed the development of a sensor that measures the high electrical current running through Alcoa’s precipitation-tank agitator motor. The sensor needed to be developed, and implemented, in a safe, reliable, and non-invasive manner.
Outcome
01
The reliability of the current transformer sensor tested successfully – the next step involves the further integration of the sensor into ISA100 Wireless Network. This will further encourage growth in the development and usage of wireless sensing on other equipment and processes at Alcoa, expanding their existing network structure.
