What Is It?
A Series Circuit Current/Voltage Monitor is a precision measurement device installed in the AGL power distribution system to continuously measure and report the electrical parameters of the series lighting circuit. It monitors the output current (typically 6.6A RMS), output voltage (which varies with load and circuit length), power, frequency, and other derived parameters such as power factor and energy consumption.
Unlike a CCR Regulator Monitor (L-827) which is primarily focused on fault detection and alarm annunciation, a Series Circuit Current/Voltage Monitor is a more comprehensive measurement instrument designed for operational awareness, performance trending, and energy management. It provides high‑accuracy, continuous data to the ALCMS, enabling operators to monitor circuit health, detect gradual degradation, and optimise energy consumption. The monitor is typically installed in the equipment shelter, between the CCR output and the series circuit, and communicates with the ALCMS via standard protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, or Ethernet/IP.
Purpose & Function
This monitor exists to give operators visibility into a series circuit's actual electrical health over time, not just a binary alarm when something has already gone wrong. Because a circuit's voltage naturally shifts with load and cable length, and gradual degradation — a corroding splice, a slowly failing transformer — often shows up first as a subtle drift in these parameters rather than an outright fault, continuous high-accuracy measurement is what makes catching that trend possible before it becomes an outage.
Feeding this data continuously to the ALCMS also supports energy management and performance trending that a simple fault-detection device can't provide: operators can see whether a circuit's power consumption or efficiency is changing over time, giving them the information to plan proactive maintenance or optimisation rather than only reacting once a threshold alarm has already fired.
Where Is It Used?
Series Circuit Current/Voltage Monitors are installed in airfield electrical rooms, equipment shelters, and AGL power centres. They are used in all types of AGL series lighting installations where operational monitoring and performance trending are required, including:
- Runway Lighting Systems: Monitoring edge, centreline, threshold, and touchdown zone circuits for current stability and voltage drop trends.
- Taxiway Lighting Systems: Monitoring taxiway edge, centreline, and stop bar circuits to detect cable degradation or fixture failures.
- Approach Lighting Systems: Ensuring consistent current delivery to approach lighting configurations (ALSF‑1, ALSF‑2, MALSR, etc.).
- Integration with ALCMS: Providing real‑time current, voltage, and power data to the central control system for operational display and historical trending.
- Energy Management: Measuring energy consumption of each series circuit to support sustainability initiatives and cost allocation.
- Predictive Maintenance: Detecting subtle changes in current or voltage that may indicate developing cable faults, failing isolating transformers, or degraded fixture performance.
Installation & Location
The monitor is installed in the equipment shelter between the CCR output and the series circuit it measures, mounted on a panel or rack close to the CCR so its current transformer and voltage sensing leads connect with a short, direct run to the circuit conductors. Where several CCRs share an equipment room, each monitor is mounted and labelled adjacent to the specific regulator and circuit it serves, avoiding any ambiguity about which circuit's data is being reported. Communication cabling to the ALCMS is run alongside other AGL monitoring routes using the monitor's Modbus or Ethernet interface, kept on a supervised network segment so continuous trending data reaches the control system reliably rather than being lost to an intermittent connection. Because the monitor's value comes from long-term trending rather than a single reading, its installation includes establishing a baseline measurement at commissioning, giving a reference point that later readings are compared against to spot gradual drift.
How Does It Work?
The Series Circuit Current/Voltage Monitor uses precision transducers to measure the electrical parameters of the series circuit. Key measurement principles include:
- Current Measurement: A high‑accuracy current transformer (CT) or Rogowski coil is placed around the series circuit conductor. The CT provides an isolated, low‑level signal proportional to the circuit current, which is then digitised by the monitor's analog‑to‑digital converter (ADC). The monitor typically measures true RMS current, accounting for any waveform distortion.
- Voltage Measurement: A voltage sensing circuit (resistive divider or potential transformer) is connected across the series circuit conductors. The sensed voltage is scaled and digitised, providing a measure of the circuit voltage. This is particularly important for monitoring voltage drop along the circuit and detecting open‑circuit conditions.
- Power and Energy Measurement: By multiplying the instantaneous current and voltage, the monitor calculates active power (P = V × I × cos φ). Integration over time provides energy consumption (kWh) for the circuit. The monitor also calculates apparent power (S = V × I) and power factor (PF = P/S).
- Frequency Measurement: The monitor tracks the frequency of the AC waveform, which is typically 50 Hz or 60 Hz depending on the region. Frequency deviations can indicate issues with the mains supply or the generator.
- Communication: The monitor provides the measured data to the ALCMS via standard communication protocols (Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, or OPC‑UA). Data can be transmitted as instantaneous values, average values over a defined period, or as historical trends.
System Architecture & Control Logic
This monitor occupies a different tier of the control architecture than the CCR regulator monitor it's often confused with: the L-827-style regulator monitor exists to answer a binary question — is the CCR holding the commanded step, yes or no — while this device continuously computes and logs the circuit's full electrical picture (current, voltage, power, power factor, frequency) whether or not anything is currently wrong. It doesn't participate in switching or interlock decisions and has no authority to trip a contactor or force a CCR transfer; its role in the architecture is purely upward-reporting, feeding the ALCMS a data stream that supports trend-based, predictive maintenance decisions rather than the immediate pass/fail alarms the regulator monitor and stop bar monitoring unit generate. In a fully instrumented circuit, the two layers are complementary: the regulator monitor catches an acute fault the moment it crosses tolerance, while this monitor's historical trend log is what catches the slow drift — a degrading transformer or a cable losing insulation resistance — long before it becomes the acute fault the other device is watching for.
From Raw Waveform to Operational Data
What sets this monitor apart from a simple alarm relay is that it doesn't just flag a fault — it continuously computes a full electrical picture (current, voltage, power, power factor, frequency, energy) from the raw waveform and logs it over time. A cable or transformer that's degrading gradually shows up as a slow drift in these trends long before it causes an outright failure, giving maintenance a window to act on predictive rather than reactive data.
Physical Construction
The device is built as a compact panel- or rack-mount instrument in a metal or polymer case, with current measurement taken via an internal or externally clamped current transformer sized to the series circuit's rated current and voltage measurement taken through isolated sense terminals rated for the circuit's open-circuit voltage. Signal conditioning and metrology electronics — typically a dedicated measurement IC sampling both channels — sit behind an isolation barrier that protects the low-voltage display and communications electronics from the series circuit's much higher potential. A front-panel digital display shows the live readings, with rear terminals for the CT and voltage-sense inputs, auxiliary power, and a communications port (Modbus or similar) for reporting derived values such as power factor and energy consumption back to the ALCMS, keeping the metrology, display, and communications functions in the one sealed enclosure.

Common Field Issues
CT Saturation and Accuracy Degradation
Current transformers can saturate under high fault currents or DC offset conditions, leading to measurement errors. Use of high‑quality CTs with appropriate saturation margins and periodic verification of CT accuracy is essential.
Voltage Sensing Lead Isolation
The voltage sensing leads connect to the high‑voltage series circuit (up to several kV). Inadequate insulation or improper termination can create a shock hazard or damage the monitor. Use of properly rated leads, fuses, and surge protection is critical.
Communication Setup Errors
Configuring the communication parameters (baud rate, parity, addressing) can be error‑prone. Incorrect settings lead to loss of data to the ALCMS. Careful documentation and testing during commissioning are required.
Noise and EMI Interference
AGL environments have high levels of electromagnetic interference from CCRs and other equipment. Shielded cables, proper grounding, and careful routing of measurement leads are essential to maintain measurement accuracy.
Drift Over Time
Like any precision instrument, the monitor's accuracy can drift due to component ageing or temperature variations. Periodic calibration (typically annually) is recommended to maintain confidence in the measurement data.

Safety & Operational Notes
Isolate Before Internal or Lead Work
Electrical SafetyDe-energise and lock out the series circuit before working on the monitor's voltage sensing leads or internal wiring; the leads are directly connected to live circuit voltage, and damaged insulation on them is itself a shock-hazard failure mode.
Never Open-Circuit a Live CT Secondary
Electrical SafetyDo not disconnect a current transformer's secondary wiring while the primary series circuit is energised; an open CT secondary under load can develop a dangerously high voltage across the terminals.
Inspect Sensing Lead Terminations Every Access
VerificationVisually inspect voltage sensing lead terminations and check insulation resistance at every access, since insulation breakdown on these leads from age, moisture, or mechanical damage is a high-severity, safety-relevant failure mode.
Verify CT Sizing Against Fault Current
VerificationConfirm the current transformer is correctly sized for the circuit's actual fault current, since an undersized or degraded CT produces measurement errors specifically under fault conditions, when accurate data matters most.
Insulation Test Before Re-Energisation
Electrical SafetyAfter any lead or wiring work, megger test the circuit before restoring power, since a residual fault at re-energisation can trip the CCR or damage healthy fixtures on the same loop.
PPE & Grounding
Personnel SafetyUse insulated tools and appropriate PPE when working near live series-circuit or sensing-lead wiring, and confirm the monitor enclosure is bonded/grounded per the electrical design before closing it up.
Check Communication Setup Before Trusting Remote Data
VerificationVerify protocol, address, and polling configuration between the monitor and the ALCMS before relying on remotely reported values, since a setup error here can produce data that looks plausible but doesn't reflect the actual circuit condition.
Restore to Compliant State
ComplianceConfirm accurate current, voltage, and power readings are reaching the ALCMS before closing out the work; do not leave the circuit without independent verification of its electrical parameters.
Engineering & Expert Notes
Trend Voltage, Not Just Current, to Catch Circuit Degradation Early
DiagnosticsA series circuit's CCR holds output current constant by design, so current alone tells you almost nothing about developing circuit problems; a slow rise in output voltage at a given current step is often the first measurable sign of increasing loop resistance from a degrading connector or splice, well before any fault trips.
Power Factor Drift Can Flag LED Driver Issues Before They Cause Visible Failure
DiagnosticsOn circuits with LED fixtures, a gradual shift in measured power factor across the loop can indicate driver components starting to degrade, since failing power-factor correction stages are a known early symptom in LED driver electronics. Trending power factor alongside current and voltage adds an early-warning dimension pure current monitoring misses.
Sample Rate Determines Whether You Catch Transient Events at All
ConfigurationA monitor configured to report averaged readings at a low sample rate will smooth over brief current or voltage transients that can be diagnostically significant, such as a momentary spike coinciding with a step change or an intermittent connection. Check what the monitor actually captures versus what it reports before ruling out a transient-related fault.
Verify the Monitor's Own Calibration Against a Known Reference
CalibrationA monitor that's been reporting consistent readings for years can still have its own measurement accuracy drift slowly, and because there's no independent reading to compare against in normal operation, this drift can go unnoticed indefinitely. Periodically verify readings against a calibrated reference meter, not just against the monitor's own historical trend.
Install the Sensing Tap Where It Actually Reflects Circuit Condition
InstallationA voltage tap installed too close to the CCR output reflects regulator behaviour more than downstream circuit health, while one placed too far along the loop can be affected by local conditions unrepresentative of the whole circuit. Placement should be chosen deliberately for what the monitor is actually meant to diagnose.
Baseline Every Circuit Individually Rather Than Using a Generic Threshold
ConfigurationCircuit length, fixture count, and cable gauge vary enough between loops that a single generic voltage threshold applied fleet-wide either misses real problems on short loops or nuisance-alarms on long ones. Establish each circuit's own healthy baseline at commissioning and alarm against deviation from that baseline.
