The Schneider Electric range of current sensors delivers high performance and reliable current montoring solution for HVAC applications. The current transducers are ideal solutions for applications including fan and pump status where actual amperage information is required. A current sensor is a device that detects electric current in a wire and generates a signal proportional to that current. The generated signal could be analog voltage or current or a digital output.
The characteristics of this sensor are reliability, high resolution, a wide range of weak magnetic field measurements, and the magnetic field’s component direct measurement, These sensors are appropriate in high-speed motion systems. There are 3 categories for cored current sensor; 1. Open-loop, 2. Closed-loop, and 3. Fluxgate.
There are a variety of applications for current sensors. For example, some devices are used for power metering, control system diagnosis, current supply measurement, and the control of complex loads from electric motors. Others are used for charge integration and condition monitoring of rechargeable batteries.
