ACREL AC DC Hall Current Sensor with Voltage Output
ACREL AC DC Hall Current Sensor with Voltage Output provides Hall-effect current sensing for electrical measurement and monitoring applications. The AHKC-F and AHKC-BS models provide voltage output and are available across different current ranges and sensing apertures, while the AHKC-BS-N is specified by Acrel for DC current monitoring with a 0-5 V output. These sensors can be integrated with compatible meters, monitoring equipment and control systems where an analogue current signal is required.
The ACREL AC DC Hall Current Sensor with Voltage Output are Hall-effect current sensors designed to convert measured electrical current into an analogue voltage signal for monitoring and measurement.
The AHKC-F is intended for higher-current applications, with Acrel documentation specifying input ranges from 0 to 200-1000 A, a 5 V or 4 V rated output and a 43 x 13 mm measuring aperture. The AHKC-BS provides a more compact sensing arrangement with a 20.5 x 10.5 mm measuring aperture and input ranges from 0 to 20-500 A.
The AHKC-BS-N is identified by Acrel as a closed-type Hall current sensor for DC outgoing circuits. Acrel's data centre application documentation specifies a 0-5 V output and ±15 V supply for this model.
