34.4.26.15 Current
The GEA 24 and GSU 73 have provisions to monitor bus current from two different sources. Current can
be measured either using a shunt resistor such as the UMA 1C4 (50mV/100A type) or a Hall effect sensor
such as the Amploc KEY100 series.
Shunt Sensors: Shunt sensors are connected to the SHUNT 1 and SHUNT 2 inputs on the GEA 24 and
GSU 73 (see
). The SHUNT 1 input can be configured to display either
"Bus 1 Amps" or "Main Bus Amps". The SHUNT 2 input can be configured to display either "Bus 2
Amps" or "Essential Bus Amps".
Hall Effect Sensors: Hall effect current sensors are connected to the GEA 24 or GSU 73 general purpose
(GP) inputs (see
). Hall effect sensors can optionally be calibrated to
adjust for installation differences (see
). The supported configurations for Hall
effect current sensors on GP inputs are similar to those supported for shunt current sensors:
•
Bus 1 Amps (Hall)
•
Bus 2 Amps (Hall)
•
Main Bus Amps (Hall)
•
Essential Bus Amps (Hall)
Vertical Power: When using a Vertical Power unit, configure SHUNT 1 to "Vertical Power Main Bus
Amps" or "Vertical Power Bus 1 Amps" to use primary bus current data from the Vertical Power unit.
Configure Shunt 2 to "Vertical Power Bus 2 Amps" to use secondary bus current data from the Vertical
Power unit.
