AutomationDirect ACS200-AA-F Current Operated Switch

ACS200-AA-F is AutomationDirect’s AcuAMP fixed-core AC current switch for single-phase loads, delivering a normally open, isolated solid-state output that switches on when the sensed current exceeds a user-set trip point. It provides three selectable sensing ranges—1–6 A, 6–40 A, or 40–175 A—with an adjustable trip point from 1 to 175 A via a 4-turn potentiometer, enabling precise threshold tuning to minimize nuisance trips. The device is rated for 1 A at 240 VAC on the output, making it suitable for triggering control circuits or PLC inputs in 240 VAC environments. The ACS200-AA-F is a compact, USA-made part in a fixed-core design, with a typical shipping weight around 0.35 lb. It belongs to AutomationDirect’s AcuAMP line of current sensing switches and is used to monitor AC current in line-powered equipment such as motors, pumps, heaters, or other single-phase loads. The ACS200 series carries agency approvals for UL/cUL and CE, reflecting its safety and compliance credentials. As a fixed-core, AC current switch with an isolated solid-state output, it provides reliable on/off signaling without drawing power from the sensed circuit, enabling straightforward integration with relays or PLCs for overcurrent protection or process monitoring.
