1 Current Transducers What they are A current transducer converts the current flowing through a conductor into a proportional electrical signal for measurement and control systems, while providing galvanic isolation between the conductor and the measurement electronics. Key benefits Safe monitoring with galvanic isolation that protects measurement electronics from faults and transients Accurate, real time monitoring and control of electrical loads Broad compatibility with PLCs data loggers and control systems through standard signal outputs and interfaces Compact rugged construction suitable for installation in control panels enclosures or on DIN rails Flexible deployment with multiple mounting and connection options Reliable performance in typical industrial environments due to robust materials and insulation Key attributes Function: measures current and outputs a proportional signal for monitoring and control Compatibility: designed to work with common data acquisition and automation equipment; models offer multiple output options Size: compact footprint for easy integration in space constrained installations Material: sturdy enclosure with electrical insulation appropriate to industrial use Performance: linear response with stable operation across common temperatures and an isolated output How it works A sensing element placed around or in line with the conductor detects current via magnetic coupling (Hall effect or a magnetic core) and provides a galvanically isolated output The output signal is proportional to the measured current and suitable for feedback control and data recording Use scenarios Scenario 1: Monitor motor current in a drive system to detect overloads and trigger protective actions Scenario 2: Track line currents in a distribution panel to support energy management and load balancing Scenario 3: Collect current profiles in a test bench or lab setting for analysis and performance evaluation Installation and integration notes Install in line with the conductor or around it using appropriate mounting method per model Connect to standard measurement interfaces and follow safety and insulation guidelines Choose the model that provides the required output option and current range for your system
