General purpose AC current to DC voltage transducer

The most of previously realized and implemented Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for the electricity consumption control are based on a control at the transformer substations level (transformer output cells level). In order to make such DCS systems, applicable to a wide variety of consumers, the new components are added into the existed DCS (transducers, controllers, communication modules, etc.). In that way, the realized DCS becomes easily applicable to almost all types of electricity consumers. Also, the DCS should be low-cost, to be available to the targeted customer groups. This paper presents the characteristics of recently realized transducer (AC current to DC voltage). The application of such device in the realized DCS enables measurement the electricity consumption of almost all electrical consumers in the industrial facilities, as well as in the households.
