How does a Hall effect transducer work?
« on: August 17, 2015, 06:36:49 pm »
Hi everybody,

How do I set up this to read the current passing  in a wire  troughtout the device.  I put a resistor?
Do I ut a small voltage between the two post of the transducer?

Thanks for your attention

Isn't this suppose to be a technical and exact science?

That's NOT a Hall effect sensor..  It is basically a transformer secondary.  The wire you pass through the center hole forms the primary.  It will only detect AC current, not DC.

If that is what you want, connect a 50 Ohm resistor between the 2 pins and measure the AC voltage across the resistor.
One accurate measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions
