Small is beautiful - New current sensor for industrial applications:
Hanau / Frankfurt - VACUUMSCHMELZE GmbH & Co. KG (Hanau) presents its new high-precision current sensor family at this year's electronica (14th to 17th November) in Hall B5, Booth 119. Type T60404-N4646-X654, for example, measures maximum effective continuous current up to 50 A and peaks of up to +150 A. The dimensions of the sensor housing are an ultracompact 22.2 mm x 10 mm x 24 mm. The electronics of these new-design VACUUMSCHMELZE sensors are almost completely concentrated in an IC (integrated circuit) designed in collaboration with a leading semiconductor manufacturer.
The sensor displays AC and DC current of any wave form up to 100 kHZ and over. It requires only a unipolar 5-volt power supply and generates output voltage proportional to input current. Type X664 features an additional reference pin to connect, say, with the reference voltage output or input of an A/D converter.
In addition to Type T60404-N4646-X654/X664, there are three new compact type families for nominal voltages of 6 to 100 A and peak currents up to +200 A. They comprise devices for both unipolar +5 volt power supply with voltage output, and bipolar +/-12 to 15 volt power supply with current output. In addition, VACUUMSCHMELZE presents further sensors based on the same principle for continuous rms current of up to 700 A and peaks of up to +1250 A.
VAC's patented principle involves a compensation sensor with magnetic probe as zero field detector, and delivers outstandingly precise current readings. DC offset, hysteresis, temperature influence and long-term drift of output variable are all minimal, and interference such as output noise or periodic signal at zero input are negligible. VACUUMSCHMELZE Current Sensors feature low rise times and wide frequency range, plus low-cost construction.
The new sensor is designed for PCB mounting and is also available in a pasteto- pin version for reflow soldering.
VDE and UL approval has been granted and applied for respectively.
