Howard Butler Ltd

Howard Butler Ltd has been manufacturing panel meters, current transformers, relays, transducers and associated products in our UK factory for over 85 years.

Howard Butler Ltd has ISO 9001:2008 approval with a constantly reviewed quality policy. This ensures that through our  vigilance, control, design methods and accountability throughout all stages of design and manufacture quality is designed and built into our products. Our in-house design engineers are able to work with customers to provide custom solutions where our standard product range is not applicable. Our policy is one of continuous improvement, therefore the HOBUT range is regularly added to with new products, mostly designed to IEC, BS, or DIN specifications.

 

We hold extensive stocks of vital components to ensure quick delivery of both standard and special
products. Customer satisfaction is central to the aims of Howard Butler Ltd, with our fully integrated
computer system closely controlling orders, enquiries and stock.

 

  1. Phase Angle Transducer

    Phase Angle Transducer
    The M100-PA series of phase angle transducers measure the phase angle between current and voltage. They can be used on single and three phase 3 or 4 wire balanced systems. Ideal for optimising power factor correction. The MP100-PV1 measures the phase angle between two voltage supplies and provides a D.C. output signal proportional to the phase angle between the voltages.
  2. Plate type Shunts

    Plate type Shunts
    Highly accurate manganin resistance d.c shunts. When a current is passed through the shunt a proportional millivolt output is produced. An economical range of shunts, manufactured to class 1.5
  3. Power Meters

    Power Meters
    Here at Howard Butler we manufacture instrumentation and control products including:
    • Current transformers
    • Power meters
    • Digital panel meters
    • Transducers
    For over 100 years we have been manufacturing in the UK and we export worldwide. Please visit our website or contact us for more information.

  5. Prodin Range Panel Meters

    Prodin Range Panel Meters
    72 x 72mm DIN sized prodin range: panel meter panel meter with a horizontal scale and a rounded barrel. Manufactured to IEC51. Used widely in the panel building industry where a DIN product with a horizontal scale is required. Round barrel allows easy installation without special tools
  6. R68 Panel Meters

    R68 Panel Meters
    Rectangular fronted, round R68 range : panel meters barrelled, moving iron and moving coil panel meters for AC or DC use. Manufactured to IEC51/BS89
  7. Reactive Power Transducers

    Reactive Power Transducers
    The M100-XA series measure reactive power in single, 3 phase 3 or 4 wire balanced and unbalanced systems. Using the time division multiplier circuit means that they can be used over a wide range of input waveforms. The D.C. output signal is directly proportional to the instantaneous reactive power being measured. Typical Applications include the measurement of reactive power in switchboards, power stations and generating sets etc. The high isolation of 4kV as with all M100 series allows these transducers to be connected to a variety of measuring and control devices and systems, such as analogue meters, PLC, computer systems, data loggers, digital instruments and telemetry systems. Both auxiliary powered and self powered versions of each type are available. It is recommended to use an auxiliary powered version if the system being measured has voltage variations in excess of ±20%
  8. Relays - Protection

  9. Remote Resistance Transducers

    Remote Resistance Transducers
    DIN rail mounting transducers available in 55mm x 112mm or 100 x 112mm DIN rail cases. Used to convert various inputs into standard DC signals for driving panel meters and for use in control devices.
  10. Resin Cast Rectangular Current Transformers

    Resin Cast Rectangular Current Transformers
    Rectangular current transformers in cast resin finish, available in any busbar size from 60A to 5000A with 1A or 5A secondaries. The range is suitable for metering, protective and class X types and is particularly suited to high current and large busbars, where the rectangular style allows for easy mounting of the current transformer.
