Description
Block Current Sensor It is an ideal current sensor, that is, a device that converts the current flowing in a circuit into a proportional signal.
Use ports + and − to connect the sensor in series with other units in the circuit where you want to measure the current. The I port outputs the measurement result as a scalar.
