Working Principle

The FUTO4-20/S10\'s working principle is based on Hall Effect sensing. This is a physics principle which states that when an electric current passes through a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field, a small voltage is induced. This phenomenon, known as the Hall Effect, is used in the current sensing. The FUTO4-20/S10 utilizes a Hall Effect IC, along with a set of three ferrite cores, to measure the current passing through a conductor. The ferrite cores restrict the flow of magnetic field created when a current passes through the conductor, thus generating a voltage. This generated voltage is then accurately fed to the Hall Effect IC, which results in a proportional output. The output of the FUTO4-20/S10 is then fed to a microcontroller or a voltage comparator, depending on the type of application.

Applications

The FUTO4-20/S10 current sensor can be used for multiple applications covering a broad range of sectors. Its Hall effect sensing technology offers numerous benefits, such as, accurate current measurement, wide dynamic range, and low power consumption. Apart from that, its small form factor gives it an edge for use in various compact devices and boards. It can be used in applications such as motor control, industrial automation, energy metering, switching power supplies, and health monitoring of power distribution systems.

Conclusion

The FUTO4-20/S10 current sensor is a non-invasive current sensing device which uses Hall Effect sensing technology to accurately measure currents up to 20A. Its uses are numerous, ranging from industrial control to residential applications. Its small form factor and wide temperature range make it even more ideal for multiple applications.
