a) Material used for energizing coils is super
enameled copper wire with H class
insulation giving enhanced life. The coils
are potted into canisters held the casing
body halves. The special compound used
has excellent thermal potting,
conductivity and electrical resistance.
b) The water connection is by means of ‘O’
ring sealed articulated/supported
pipes(benefiting low friction),leading to
flanges suitable for connection to the
Other features
customer water supply line. This insures
that water connection and supply
pressure variation have lesser effect on
the torque measurement accuracy. A
differential pressure switch with orifice
plate is provided to detect the flow rate
and ensures that the warning signal is
given if water flow drops below the
desired level. Also provided are the loss
plate temperature sensor to monitor the
last plate condition.
