It features a single channel with a 40mm window opening and provides a ±5V output signal. The device operates at a bandwidth of 10kHz and maintains an accuracy class of 1%. This module supports bidirectional measurement capabilities within its specified range, utilizing non-invasive split-core technology for easy installation around conductors.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Utilizes Hall effect sensing technology for accurate current detection
• Features a split-core design allowing installation without conductor disconnection
• Provides a standard ±5V analog output signal for integration
• Supports bidirectional current measurement functionality

Current Sensors Applications

• Power monitoring systems requiring high-current DC measurement
• Battery management systems in electric vehicles or energy storage
• Industrial power supply equipment and switching power supplies
• Motor drive control circuits for current feedback

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix to confirm bidirectional capability versus unidirectional variants. Ensure the required output voltage matches the ±5V specification rather than the 5Vdc unidirectional version. Confirm the 40mm window size accommodates the target conductor diameter. Check operating temperature ranges against environmental conditions. Validate accuracy class requirements for the intended application precision.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-invasive solution for high-current DC measurement is required. The split-core design simplifies retrofitting into existing busbar or cable setups. Consider the 10kHz bandwidth for dynamic load applications. Compare against unidirectional models if only positive current flow needs monitoring. Ensure the ±5V output aligns with the input requirements of the downstream data acquisition system.
