Every electric current generates a magnetic field that can be measured with magnetic field sensors and converted into a current value. In this way, contactless, galvanically isolated current sensors can be developed, which are widely used due to this enormous advantage. There are different approaches to realize a reliable measurement of the current, which are based on different measuring principles depending on the requirements of the application. HallinPower® technology combines several approaches and enables flexible adaptation to a wide range of measurement requirements, while at the same time ensuring a high level of robustness against interference. By dispensing with magnetizable materials and using integrated sensors, the measuring system can be set up easily and cost-effectively. Thanks to advanced algorithms, even demanding scenarios, such as the detection of several currents simultaneously, can be technically implemented.
