The sensors are based on open-loop, Hall-effect transducers that simplify both installation and servicing by removing the need to cut the cable carrying the measured current. They operate from a unipolar 5V supply and provide a fully ratio metric solution for the voltage output devices. Response time is less than 10ms.
A watertight housing and sealed connector provide full environmental protection in under-bonnet applications.
Principal applications are expected to be in the measurement of battery-pack current in electric, hybrid and conventional vehicles.
