High-accuracy sensors for AC/DC current measurement and power analysis. From current clamps to high-precision zero flux current transducers and Rogowsky coils.
Dewesoft IT series of zero-flux transducers offer highly precise current measurements with linearity below 0.002% ranging from 60 A to 1000 A RMS, featuring up to 800 kHz bandwidth which makes them perfect for E-Mobility and inverter motor measurements.
Use integrated Dewesoft SIRIUS PWR-MCTS2 power supply for powering these current transducers directly from Dewesoft instruments without any external power supply.
Please see the full technical specification for more details.
The iron-core current clamp works on the principle of a transformer. Depending on the number of windings on the primary side compared to the secondary side (turns ratio), a certain current will be induced on the secondary side. Like any transformer, this only works for measuring AC current.
The DS-CLAMP-xxAC offers measurement ranges from 5 ACRMS up to 1000 ACRMS, with a bandwidth up to 10kHz. Measurement accuracy is from 0,3% to 3,5% depending on the measurement range.
Iron core clamps offer operating temperatures from -40°C to +70°C, and the ability to measure coil diameters from 50 mm up to 52 mm depending on the model.
The Hall Effect is conveniently used to measure both the AC and DC current. The advantages of hall-compensated AC/DC current clamps are the high accuracy, a high bandwidth, the measurement of AC and DC currents and the circuit doesn't need to be opened.
The DS-CLAMP-xxDC offers measurement ranges up to 1800 A DC and ACrms, with a bandwidth up to 100 kHz depending on the model.
Hall compensated clamps offer measurement accuracy from 1% to 3,5% depending on the measurement range. Operating temperatures from 15°C to 85°C, and the ability to measure coil diameters of up to 32 mm depending on the model.
Fluxgate current sensors make use of a high permeability magnetic core in order to ascertain the magnetic field that is produced as the current flows through a conductor. Fluxgate technology depends on a negative feedback circuit, including a magnetic circuit. This is done by reverting a current back through the feedback coil so that the magnetic flux can be canceled out. The magnetic flux is caused in the coil by the current that is measured. This decreases the effect of the material’s magnetic nonlinearity, as it is compensated and can be kept low.
The DS-CLAMP-xxDC offers measurement ranges up to 1000 A DC and ACrms, with a bandwidth up to 500 kHz depending on the model.
They offer excellent accuracy of 0,3% depending on the measurement range. Operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C, and the ability to measure coil diameters of up to 50 mm depending on the model.
These current transducers require a separate PWR-MCTS2 power supply unit.
Rogowsky coils are easy to install and therefore perfect for field measurements.
A wide variety of ranges are available from 3 A to 30.000 A ACrms with accuracies down to 0.1 %. The bandwidth is starting from 10 Hz and is ending at 1 MHz.
Please see the full technical specification for more details.
While some amplifiers offer direct measurements of small range current inputs. Dewesoft offers external 20 mA, 5 A, isolated 10 A and isolated 20 A shunts with accuracy down to 0.1% for direct AC or DC current measurements. See DSI adapters product page for shunt adapter details.
Isolated voltage input amplifiers are required for connecting shunt resistor adapters.
All current sensors that require an additional power supply we offer integrated power supply option - SIRIUS PWR-MCTS2. With this option no external power supply needed.
SIRIUS PWR-MCTS2 is a power supply unit for powering these current transducers directly from Dewesoft instruments without any external power supply. SIRIUS PWR-MCTS2 can be built into SIRIUS compatible chassis or directly into R1DB/R2DB, R4 or R8 data acquisition system.
The SIRIUS XHS-PWR is a DAQ device designed for in-vehicle direct measurement of current, voltage, and power. It features an integrated patented DC-CT current transducer for very precise current measurements in the most demanding applications such as very high current peaks as well as leakage current measurement.
The current transducer uses special patented DC-CT technology based on the Platiše flux sensor. It represents the latest current sensing technology with ranges 100A, 500A, and 1000A, a wide 1 MHz bandwidth, and ultimate performance. Excellent linearity, precision, accuracy, immunity to external magnetic fields, low offsets, extremely low-temperature drift are achieved at low power operation.
The device can also directly measure the voltage up to 2000V peak (CAT II 1000V) with up to 5 MHz bandwidth.
The device is extremely compact and perfect for direct installation into a vehicle with the power lines leading through the device. It has an IP65 degree of environmental protection which allows the usage in harsh environments and during rough drives.
