Technologies
- Hall effect IC sensor.
- Transformer or Current clamp meter, (suitable for AC current only).
- Resistor, whose voltage is directly proportional to the current through it.
- Fiber optic current sensor, using an interferometer to measure the phase change in the light produced by a magnetic field.
- Rogowski coil, electrical device for measuring alternating current (AC) or high speed current pulses.
Hall Effect Current Sensor is a type of current sensor which is based on phenomenon of Hall Effect discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879.
Hall Effect Current Sensors can measure all types of current signals i.e. AC,DC or pulsating current.
These sensors are now a days being used widely in almost all the industries because of their vast application and the type of output they provide which can be manipulated and can be used for various application.
