CR4210S-50

Current transducers are used in the field of electrical engineering to measure alternating or direct electric current. The CR4210S-50 is a current transducer used to measure both alternating and direct currents of various frequencies and magnitudes. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the CR4210S-50.

Application Field

The CR4210S-50 is a dual universal current transducer which measures both alternating and direct currents. It has a wide dynamic range and is designed to measure currents up to 100A. This transducer can be used in a variety of applications, including electrical motors, generators, power inverters, battery chargers, lighting systems, and more. It can also be used in laboratory and monitoring applications.

Working Principle

The CR4210S-50 is based on the Hall effect and its magnetic field sensor technology. This technology utilizes a magnetically sensitive material such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) which is placed inside a magnetic field. As electrical current passes through the external conductor, a magnetic field is generated which is proportional to the intensity of the current. This magnetic field is then detected by the magnetically sensitive material, which produces a voltage output proportional to the current being measured.

The transducer also utilizes a rectifier bridge which converts alternating current into direct current. This rectifier bridge is typically made up of four diodes which form the four sides of a bridge configuration. The alternating current is applied to two of the diodes, while the other two diodes are connected to the output of the transducer. As the current passes through the two connected diodes, it is converted to a direct current and sent to the output of the transducer. The output from the transducer is then used to measure the intensity of the current passing through the external conductor.

Conclusion

The CR4210S-50 is a current transducer used to measure both alternating and direct currents of various frequencies and magnitudes. It can be used in a variety of applications, including electrical motors, generators, power inverters, battery chargers, lighting systems, and more. It is based on the Hall effect and its magnetic field sensor technology, which utilizes a magnetically sensitive material such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) to detect the current passing through an external conductor.
