AC Current transducer APR-B420L
Split-core transducer for the electronic measurement of AC currents (all
waveforms), with galvanic isolation between the primary circuit (high
power) and the secondary circuit (electronics). Switch selectable
measuring ranges and True RMS 4-20mA current output (loop powered).

3)
The output current will never exceed this value for safety and protection
reasons. The output value is not valid when measuring above the primary
nominal current value.
Although the transducer can withstand very high currents, the measuring
performance specified in the datasheet is valid within the 4-20 mA output
supply or ballast input power.
