Open Loop Hall Effect
Current
Sensors
Description
The IA Series Hall effect current sensors accurately measure dc
and ac currents and provide electrical isolation between the
output of the sensor and the current carrying conductor.
• High accuracy
• Wide frequency range
• Excellent linearity
• Safety isolation
• DC current measurement
• Heavy duty housing

1. Response time is affected by the output leads and the conductor in the aperture, the proximity of the return conductor
and ferrous metals. It is best to test the sensor in the actual environment to obtain representative performance.
2. The sensors are calibrated at 80% of Full Scale.
3. Hysteresis specifications given for Full Scale aperture current remnant.
4. The dielectric test consists of 2.5 kV ac at 60 Hz for one minute between a bare 1.5 inch diameter conductor
(loca ted concentrically through the apertur e) and the output of the sensor.
5. Due to continuous process improvement, all specifications are subject to change without notice.
