Scientific Columbus XL3-1K5P-A7 Process Control Watt Transducer

Scientific Columbus XL3-1K5P-A7 Process Control Watt Transducer is a 5 A, 120 V AC watt transducer designed for 3-phase, 3-wire systems, employing two sensing elements to monitor power and convert it to a 4–20 mA signal for interfacing with PLCs and process controllers. It targets a 0–1000 W measurement range and operates at 60 Hz, matching typical industrial power systems. The unit uses a 120 VAC supply and a three-wire, two-element configuration to provide watt measurement in multi-phase installations, enabling reliable energy monitoring and real-time feedback for control loops. As part of Scientific Columbus (an AMETEK brand) signal-conditioning products, the XL3-1K5P-A7 is commonly applied in power monitoring for motors, fans, pumps, and other loads where watt-level feedback supports energy management and process optimization in manufacturing environments. The model family includes variants designed for three-phase, three-wire setups, with similar 5 A, 120 V, 60 Hz specifications.
