Main Content

CTS designs Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) sensors for industrial applications and automotive applications such as electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) using Hall-effect technology. 

 

CTS Current Sensors provide high-quality results due to our unique features:

  • RoHS compliant
  • Low hysteresis
  • High linearity
  • Flexible mounting options 
  • DC and AC compatible
  • Hall-sensor measurement
  • Nonintrusive sensing
  • Wide current range choices from 25 to 2000 A

 

What is a Current Sensor?

Current sensors allow us to gauge how much power various parts are using, such as the motor, which is imperative in optimizing electric motor performance and metering applications. Our current sensors track DC and AC currents up to 10kHz with high accuracy and low phase shift. 

Busbar mounted current sensors

Busbar Mount Current Sensors

These sensors range from 250-1500 A and can be directly mounted on a busbar. A variety of customization options are available, such as calibration and analog output range. Our engineers can work with your team to create sensors that will fit within your application constraints. This line of sensing solutions can be as accurate as 1%.

PCB Mount Current Sensors

These AC products range from 200-1000 A and can be directly mounted on circuit board applications as well as in stand-alone mounting packages. A variety of standard current ranges are available as well as custom-specific calibration. Our engineers can work with your team to create sensors that will fit within your exact application constraints. This line of sensing solutions can be as accurate as 1%.

Clamp-On Current Sensors

Our magnetic field concentrators are designed for non-intrusive and isolated measurements of electric currents up to 200A. Thanks to the clamp-on design, these contactless current sensors can be safely installed without the need to interrupt or cut the cable. They are comprised of a soft ferromagnetic shield featuring superior material characteristics such as high linearity and very low hysteresis.
