Current sensors play a crucial role in monitoring and controlling power in electronics projects, making them essential for makers and hobbyists. They help measure current flow accurately and are often used in battery management, motor control, and IoT projects. With various technologies available—such as Hall-effect, shunt, and magnetic sensors—makers can find sensors to fit different needs. Here are five popular current sensors used widely in maker communities for versatile current-sensing applications.
ACS712-30A Current Sensor Module is a Hall Effect based sensor module to determine the current flowing in a given line. It can measure both AC and DC current up to 30A in both directions. It has 66 mV/A output sensitivity.
The ZHT102 5A Single-Phase AC Current Sensor Module is designed to precisely measure and monitor AC currents in single-phase electrical systems. With a range of 0-10A and a 5A rated input, this module provides high accuracy for applications that require consistent current detection and feedback. Features Current Measur
In data acquisition systems and in SCADA-related applications, the current measurement is a very important part of the whole system. It is important because the current flowing in the system determines the state and safety of the system if the current becomes too high in case of a short circuit or any fault protective
The Current Transformer (CT) 30/5 is a type of TAMCO Current Transformer used to measure electrical current in power systems. It consists of a primary winding and a secondary winding wrapped around a magnetic core. The primary winding is connected to the power line, while the secondary winding is connected to a measuri
ACS712-5A Current Sensor Module is a Hall Effect based sensor module to determine the current flowing in a given line. It can measure both AC and DC current up to 5A in both directions. Also, it has 185 mV/A output sensitivity.
