The CTS-CS-CXX magnetic field concentrators are designed for non-intrusive and isolated measurement of electric currents. Thanks to the clamp-on design, the contactless current sensor can safely be installed without the need to interrupt or cut the cable. It is comprised of a soft ferromagnetic shield featuring superior material characteristics such as high linearity and very low hysteresis.
Applications include DC and AC current sensing up to 30kHz, motor control, battery monitoring, charge control, white goods and many more. These concentrators are designed to work and should be paired with a Melexis IMCHall® planar magnetic field sensor to create an open loop current measurement system, capable of current measurements up to ±200A. Thanks to its hollow bottom design, the concentrator enables the direct housing of a planar current sensor and its capacitors underneath, thus allowing for a compact and space-saving solution.
The concentrator can be directly soldered to the PCB thanks to its 4 through-hole pins, granting a robust and secure hold.
