3CH CURRENT UNIT U8977

Dedicated Current Input Module Capable of Supplying Power to Current Sensors

Key Features

  • Achieve large current measurement with high accuracy
  • 3 channel input
  • Automatically recognize and scale simply by connecting the sensor
  • High speed sampling of 5 MS/s ensures high-speed phenomena are captured
  • High 16-bit A/D resolution
  • For Memory HiCorder MR6000, MR6000-01(ver. 2.10 or later), MR8740T (ver. 2.00 or later), and MR8847A (ver. 2.00 or later)

Model No. (Order Code)

U8977 For the MR6000 and similar products
Note: Use it by installing it in the Memory HiCorder. Current sensor is not included - please purchase separately.

Single solution for 3-phase current measurement

The U8977 delivers a sampling rate of 5 MS/s, frequency characteristics of 2 MHz, 16-bit A/D resolution, and DC accuracy of 0.3% f.s. to facilitate wideband, high-precision current measurement using Hioki current sensors.

Automatic configuration of sensor scaling values

When you connect a current sensor, the MR6000 will automatically detect the model and set the appropriate scaling value.

Power is supplied from the current unit

Since current sensor power is supplied directly from the current unit, there’s no need to provide a sensor power supply.

PL14 to ME15W (12 pin) terminal conversion (1)

When connecting a general-purpose current sensor with PL14 terminal to the Current Unit U8977, Conversion Cable CT9920 is required separately.

Precautions for connecting current sensors (0)

• The total number of current sensors and current probes that can be connected to the Memory HiCorder main unit at the same time is nine in total. (Total connected to Current Unit U897, Current Unit 8971, Probe Power Supply Unit Z5021)
• The current units that can be connected to the Memory HiCorder main unit at the same time are three units of U8977 and four units of 8971.
• There is no limitation on the number of connections when measuring current using voltage input on an Analog Unit by combining current sensor / current probe with sensor power supply.
• Only the U8977 can use a sensor with PL14 terminal via the CT9920. Sensors with PL14 terminals cannot be used with the 8971.
