FAQs

Q: What makes the UPC different from a standard current sensor?

Current sensors only measure amps, which can be misleading when power factor changes. The UPC measures true power in horsepower, giving a far more accurate and sensitive picture of actual motor load.

Q: Which motor types is the UPC compatible with?

The UPC works with 3-phase, single-phase, AC, DC, fixed frequency, and variable frequency motors, covering virtually every motor type found in industrial environments.

Q: How do I know which UPC model is right for my motor size?

The UPC family covers motors from under 1HP to 150HP. For larger motors, the PH-1000 is available. Our team can help match the right model to your specific motor and application.

Q: Can UPC data be integrated into my existing control system?

Yes. The UPC outputs standard 0–10V and 4–20mA analog signals. The UPC-MB variant adds Modbus connectivity for direct integration with SCADA, DCS, and IIoT platforms.

Q: Is the UPC suitable for safety-critical applications?

Yes. All UPC models are UL rated and SIL-2 capable, meeting the safety integrity requirements of chemical, pharmaceutical, and other demanding process environments.
