New high-performance current sense transducer for OEM applications offers lower costs

10-05-2019 | Danisense | Power

Danisense has introduced the DC200IF, a highly accurate, highly-stable 200A current transducer aimed at system integration OEM applications, that is claimed to offer around 40% lower cost than competing models. This allows users to access the company's unique, double-core, balanced flux gate measurement technology, at an affordable price/performance ratio.

The device offers excellent linearity (6ppm) with a maximum offset of 5ppm, equivalent to 1.5mA. The units give DC and AC current metering with +/- 0.1 absolute accuracy up to 5kHz. Devices highlight low noise and high immunity to EMC. The current transducers are compact and are provided with four industry-standard 6.3mm x 0.8mm Faston connections.

Comments Loic Moreau, sales and marketing director, Danisense A/S: “Danisense is pursuing a strategy of giving access to high accuracy current measurement to OEM power converter makers by offering our high-performance 200A current transducer at a very affordable price: high accuracy has never been so accessible!”

The new, low-cost current transducers raise the performances of OEM power converters for precise power supply, medical, battery charger and accurate motor drives applications. Principal applications include MRI equipment, power supplies for magnetic fields in particle accelerator and hadron therapy equipment, variable frequency drives, battery charger metering and monitoring.
