Hall effect current sensors are used for a variety of applications. One of the benefits of Hall effect sensors is their small size, which allows them to be used in very small electronic devices.
When a conductor is placed in a magnetic field, the charge carriers are deflected by the magnetic field’s action on the conductor body. The Hall effect is the name given to this action and is one of the most frequent methods for measuring magnetic fields. American scientist Edwin Hall discovered the Hall effect in 1879, according to the American Physical Society, but it was not until decades later that integrated circuits could take full advantage of this phenomenon. Keep reading for a quick overview of the Hall effect.
A voltage transformer is an important piece of electrical equipment used to convert voltages from one level to another. They are commonly used in power transmission and distribution, as well as in electronic equipment. Here are some of the most common uses for voltage transformers and a look into a few of our most popular products.
Aim Dynamics teamed up with Magnelab will be at the Sensors Converge 2021 in San Jose, CA on September 21-23. We look forward to seeing you at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in sunny California.

What is a current sensor? Current sensors, also commonly referred to as current transformers or CTs, are devices that measure the current running through a wire by using the magnetic field to detect the current and generate a proportional output.
The new V4LM seal leakage relay from TELE for liquid level monitoring in conductive fluids combines 10 different monitoring functions in one very compact device. It monitors the level of a fluid via directly immersed probes.
The new, compact TELE SENSact power meters with ModBus RTU interface for highly accurate, flexible, and reliable measurements. TELE has introduced a new range of communication-capable monitoring devices with ModBus RTU interface with a focus on electric energy applications and monitoring of key electrical values in industrial plants.
In this blog I will try to answer these 3 questions: What is a Volt-Ampere rating (VA rating) and when does it apply to a CT? How can I figure out the VA rating for my application? What happens if I get this wrong?
