DESCRIPTION
Hall Effect Current Sensors
Open loop Hall effect sensors measure current by directly detecting the magnetic field generated by the current-carrying conductor. A Hall element inside the sensor produces a voltage proportional to the magnetic field strength, which is then processed into an output signal corresponding to the measured current. These sensors are known for their simpler design, lower cost, and lower power consumption but are generally less accurate and slower in response compared to closed-loop versions. They are suitable for applications requiring moderate accuracy and are commonly used in motor control, battery monitoring, and power supply systems.
