CTSR Family
Non-contact and accurate milliamps measurement single supplied (+5V).
CTSR - Current sensors
The CTSR current sensors enable the measurement of DC, AC, and pulsed currents ranging from 0.3 to 1 ARMS nominal, featuring galvanic separation between the primary and secondary circuits.
These transducers are designed for non-contact, compact, and accurate milliamps measurement, specifically for residual or leakage current measurement. With low offset drift, they are intended for PCB mounting.
CTSR models have an additional pin at the output for more flexibility in applications. This pin provides access to the internal voltage reference which can then be fed to the reference of an A/D converter (Analog Digital). This extra pin can also receive the internal reference (from 2.3 to 4 V) of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or A/D converters commonly used in Power Electronics, allowing cancellation of the reference temperature drift.
The CTSR current sensors utilize closed-loop Fluxgate CTSR type technology, ensuring high accuracy, particularly in industrial applications.
