Current Sensors
Current sensors are frequently used to measure and control the load current in power supplies, safety circuits and a variety of control circuits. In applications where controlling the current is required, such as in power supplies, accurately sensing the magnitude of the current is a fundamental requirement.
Is there a difference between a current transformer and a current sensor?
Yes, technically, but these terms are frequently interchanged. Current transformers scale down current so that it can be monitored efficiently and safely, whereas a current sensor is a generic name for a device that senses and measures current.
