Current Transducers Function A current transducer converts the current flowing in a conductor to a proportional signal that can be read by monitoring, control, and protection systems. Provides galvanic isolation between the primary current path and the measurement electronics to protect equipment and operators. Why you need it Safe measurement of live currents without loading the circuit. Real time data for protection, control, and energy management. Enables integration with standard data acquisition, PLCs, SCADA, and instrumentation. Key attributes Output options: available in voltage or current output configurations to match common measurement inputs. Isolation: designed to provide galvanic isolation between the measured circuit and the sensing electronics. Size and mounting: compact form factors with mounting options that vary by model (panel mount or DIN rail may be available). Housing and materials: enclosures offered in different materials (for example plastic or metal) and may vary by model; consult the datasheet for specifics. Environment and durability: built for industrial environments with varying temperature ranges and duty cycles; exact ratings depend on the model. Performance characteristics Accurate, linear response across the applicable current range with fast sensing in typical control and monitoring applications. Temperature stability and drift characteristics that help maintain reliable readings over time. Isolation ratings and electrical robustness specified per model. Compatibility and integration Works with common control and measurement equipment such as PLCs, DAQs, microcontrollers, and instrumentation with standard inputs. Easy to integrate into existing current loops and measurement systems; verify output type and scaling for your setup. Models and configurations Available in multiple current ranges and output configurations to fit a range of applications. Mounting options, enclosure materials, and isolation levels vary by model; refer to the product datasheet for exact specifications. Use scenarios Industrial motor monitoring and protection in a control panel to track motor current and trigger protections when limits are exceeded. Power electronics testing in a lab or production line to measure DC or AC bus current for validation and performance analysis. Building energy management in electrical distribution boards to monitor branch currents for load balancing and energy accounting. How to select Determine the required current range and the appropriate output type (voltage or current). Check the mounting method and enclosure material to suit your installation environment. Review isolation requirements, environmental ratings, and compatibility with your data acquisition or control system. Consult the product datasheet for model specific details, including accuracy, bandwidth, and operating conditions.
