Description

Block Current Sensor It is an ideal current sensor, that is, a device that converts the current flowing in the circuit into a proportional signal.

Use the + and ports to connect the sensor in series with other units in the branch where you want to measure the current. Port I displays the measurement result as a scalar signal.

Ports

Output

I is the current, And
scalar

The output port of the measured value of the electric current.

Input

+ — positive
electricity

The electrical port represents the positive terminal of the sensor.

— negative
electricity

The electrical port represents the negative terminal of the sensor.
