HBCT - Automotive current sensor
The HBCT Series provides to an engine control unit (ECU) the actual value of current flowing in and out of the battery and the ambient temperature by a NTC thermistor. The current measurement is performed with a full galvanic separation between the primary circuit (high power) and the secondary circuit (electronic circuit).
The HBCT 250-V proposed a battery clamp mounting and the transducer is linked to the ECU with the wiring harness using a waterproof connector.
HBCT current sensors are relying on the hall effect technology. They are designed for automotive applications.
