Measuring aC<br />

including DC Current<br />

the preferred current<br />

connection for power meters is<br />

the power meter direct current<br />

input. Up to 50Arms this is no<br />

problem but higher currents<br />

generate mu<strong>ch</strong> heat in the<br />

internal shunt, making the<br />

measurement inaccurate, due<br />

to temperature drift.<br />

■ measures Ac + Dc currents<br />

at the same time<br />

■ Isolated from the primary<br />

circuits<br />

■ Very high stability and<br />

accuracy<br />

■ high bandwidth<br />

■ Also available in clamp type<br />

■ Saturation detection circuit<br />

with automatic reset after<br />

over current<br />

■ can be swit<strong>ch</strong>ed on with<br />

current already present when<br />

connected<br />

External current<br />

sensors<br />

For higher currents the only<br />

solution is to make use of external<br />

current sensors. Current sensors<br />

are widely available, but current<br />

sensors for accurate energy and<br />

power measurements are scare. A<br />

current sensor for electrical power<br />

measurements needs to have<br />

specifications for its internal phase<br />

shifts at different frequencies.
