Reliable and easy current measurement in DAQ systems

09-10-2024 | Danisense | Power

Danisense offers a range of current transducers with voltage output, designed to streamline the workflow for engineers using DAQ systems. These devices integrate the burden resistor directly into the current transducer, mitigating the risk of miscalculations. With a single datasheet, users can quickly commence precise and reliable current measurements in their specific applications.

DAQ users often employ various instruments, extending beyond traditional oscilloscopes. These instruments usually lack a direct current sensor. Consequently, when users require a precision current sensor, they must use a burden resistor to facilitate the connection. However, this often poses a significant challenge: users must align the specifications of the current sensor with those of the burden resistor. The complexity of these specifications leaves considerable room for error.

The DS, DM and DL series current transducers with voltage output from the company provide users highly reliable and accurate options for precise measurements of AC and DC currents from 55A up to 3000A. The products are excellent for many applications, particularly in harsh environments and high-temperature settings such as e-mobility, solar, and wind energy sectors. The high-temperature range capability of the company's current transducers is particularly beneficial in these fields. They offer a 1V or 10V BNC voltage output connection, a large aperture (up to 68mm) and very low linearity errors. All products are housed in full aluminium casings for superior EMI shielding and incorporate its Fluxgate technology. This closed-loop compensated technology with fixed excitation frequency and second harmonic zero flux detection ensures best-in-class accuracy and stability.

The DR series products with voltage output are ideal for high-power current sensing needs up to 11kA. The transducer core is optimised for high immunity against external magnetic fields. Extra features include a very large aperture of up to 150mm, very low linearity errors, a three-pin XLR mini connector for voltage output, and an advanced sensor protection circuit.
