LEM Hall Effect current sensors are available in open-loop, closed-loop and Eta configurations. Open-loop Hall Effect sensors are highly cost effective, as well as being small and consuming minimal power. Closed-loop sensors offer higher accuracy and enhanced speed to enable currents with a wider range of frequencies to be measured.
Hall Effect Eta transducers are similar in construction to closed loop transducers , with the same magnetic circuit geometry, a Hall generator and secondary winding. A Hall Effect Eta transducer is a mix of open loop and current transformer technologies operating as an open loop transducer at low frequencies (up to 2…10 kHz depending on the specific transducer design), and as a current transformer at higher frequencies. Both the Hall Effect and transformer signals are electronically added to form a common output signal.
