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.
