Naturally, different devices need differing amounts of electricity so they can function properly—and more importantly, not get damaged from receiving too much power. This is why current sensing is such an important element of the power supply chain.18 Jun 2014
Which sensor is used to measure current?
Magnetic Current Sensor. The principle of the magnetic current sensor is that the current to be measured generates a magnetic field around the current path, and by detecting this generated magnetic field using a magnetic sensor, the amount of the current can be measured.
What are the types of current sensor?
The current measurement methods are generally classified by three categories; shunt resistor+isolation amplifier/isolation ADC, cored current sensor, and coreless current sensor (current sensor IC).
Which sensor is used to detect current?
Magnetic Current Sensor
What is electric current sensor?
Electrical current sensors detect the flow of current along an electrical wire by measuring (or sensing) the magnetic field that is generated by the flow of electrical current. The sensors output signals that are transmitted to data loggers.
What is DC current sensor?
Eaton DC Current Sensors are a family of Hall-effect sensors used to measure the current flow in a wire. Eaton DC Current Sensors are optimally ruggedized for transportation applications with outstanding environmental performance characteristics.
How do you choose a current sense resistor?
Selecting the value of current sensing resistor is based primarily on two factors-- required accuracy at minimum load current, and power dissipation at maximum load current, and the associated size and cost.
