More smelters are recognising the benefits of using Stimir’s Hall Effect Cathode Current Meter. Recent orders include Almahdi Aluminium in Iran, and Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio.
Stimir’s Cathode Current Meter is a specialised portable ammeter and makes use of the Hall Effect. The instrument is lightweight and easy to operate. The conductor current is instantaneously displayed on the integral backlit screen.
The U-shaped sensor head does not need to go fully around the conductor, making it both easier and quicker to take multiple measurements. A screen icon indicates low power remaining in the standard 9V alkaline dry cell. An over-temperature warning protects against excessively heat.
Every Cathode Current Meter is customised to specific customer requirements – the lance length and angle is configured for easy access, the probe is dimensioned to suit the conductor, and the meter is scaled for the pot current.
Stimir also manufactures an Anode Current Meter designed to measure the current flowing in the anode rods using the volt drop principle
Stimir hf. is a solution provider to the primary aluminium industry, with particular focus on the Rodding Plant. All aspects of design and fabrication are undertaken at Stimir’s own facilities, ensuring total quality control and on-time delivery.
