PRIMARY CURRENT SENSOR

PRIMARY CURRENT SENSOR

Hall effect principle based Current Transducer, specifically made to work in extreme atmosphere of traction application. Its measuring secondary circuit is galvanically isolated with primary circuit.

  • Very compact & light weight than conventional CT & Shunt.
  • Can measure DC, AC and impulse / surge curent.
  • Measuring range of the current 0 to ±1500 Amp.
  • Conversion ratio of primary and secondary is 1 : 5000.
  • Conversion ratio of primary and test circuit is 1 : 1000.
  • Measuring accuracy better than ±0.3%.
  • Linearity is better than ±0.1%.
  • Zero offset current within ±0.4mA.
  • Measurement response time is better than 1us.
  • Operating bandwidth 0 to 100Khz (-1db).
  • Dielectric Isolation of Primary & Secondary 6KVAC.
  • Operating temperature -30°C to 70°C.
