PCB-mount current transducer is compact and stable for 1U supplies
Compact and lightweight, the DP series of PCB-mount current transducers from Danisense are suitable for use in 1U power supplies and space-constrained applications. The stable, high-precision current transducers are for isolated DC and AC current measurement up to 72A.
They are compact, with a footprint of 64.9 x 60mm and a height of 32mm. They are also light, weighing 250g.
The design is based on Danisense’s closed-loop, compensated Fluxgate technology which provides a fixed excitation frequency and second harmonic zero flux detection for best in class accuracy and stability, says the company.
The DP transducers have a maximum linearity error of 10ppm and a measurement resistance of up to 100 Ohm at full scale. Devices are programmable for 12.5, 25 or 50A via the PCB layout.
Applications include machine protection systems (MPS) for particle accelerators, stable power supplies, precision drives, battery-testing and evaluation systems, power measurement and power analysis. Comments Loic Moreau, sales and marketing director, Danisense A/S, said: “Our technology has enabled us to deliver a PCB-mount current transducer . . . [with] high performance measurement functionality on the PCB for the first time”.
Danisense combines complex magnetic performance with advanced electronics to supply efficient and precise solutions for customers in demanding industries.
Danisense was founded in 2012 and is based in Denmark and Japan. The company creates solutions that enable its customers to quickly and easy measure AC and DC currents with accuracies down to 1ppm.
