chieving Reliability With HARTING’s Current Sensors – Alltronix India

For any kind of commercial or industrial
applications, it is important that the
electronics used are able to quickly and
accurately detect current so that all kinds of
power electronic systems like UPS systems,
frequency converters, tractions converters, etc.
can be precisely controlled. HARTING current
sensors have been specifically designed to
measure high currents in such environments to
prove to be reliable, safe, and precise. These
sensors are available for currents from 200A to
2000A, with a measuring range of up to 4000A.
HARTING current sensors can be used in even the
most extreme conditions, which is why they are
used in wind turbines, solar inverters, and in
drive controls for machines and cranes. These
sensors can be easily integrated into existing
application as they have standard installation
dimensions, making the installation fast and
safe. HARTINGs current sensors use the magnetic
field created by the current flowing through the
conductor to carry out an electrically isolated
measurement. There are two main measuring
principles that can be used closed loop
(available for demanding measurement tasks),
and open loop (available for lesser demanding
requirements). Current sensors for industrial
applications HARTINGs HCM series offers special
current sensors whose functionality is based on
the closed loop principle, making them fit for
use in industrial applications. They possess
excellent measuring accuracy and short response
times, which makes them ideally suited for
precise control tasks. Both direct and
alternating currents can be

measured. Mixed signals in frequencies ranging up
to 100 kHz can also be measured. These current
sensors are available in a variety of sizes and
designs, and use a robust termination technique,
including mating connectors for safe connections
even during operations. They are suitable for
use even under severe temperature conditions
ranging between -40C to 85C. Current sensors
for railway applications HARTINGs HCMR series of
current sensors are specifically designed to
comply with the requirements of railway
applications. Their functionality is based on the
closed loop principle. These sensors too have
excellent measuring accuracy and short response
times, making them suitable too for precise
control tasks. They have a robust design, and a
high degree of protection against over-voltage,
which helps them to avoid faulty switching
during operation. Moreover, these sensors also
come with internal EMC shielding that ensures
excellent operational safety. These sensors can
also be used under critical conditions where the
temperature ranges between -40 C and 85
C. Current sensors for high currents HARTINGs
HCME current sensors work according to the open
loop principle that uses rectangular cores and
direct mapping. Space is significantly saved with
these compact current sensors, which helps them
to be easily installed on a power rail. All kinds
of direct, alternating, and mixed currents can
be measured that lie within the frequency range
of up to 50 kHz. These current sensors can also
be used effectively in temperatures ranging
between -40C and 85C. You can get all these
precise, safe, and reliable current sensors at
Alltronix, the leading HARTING distributor in
Pune. Apart from these current sensors, you can
also get all kinds of high quality connectors,
encoders, high speed backplanes, and PCB
terminals from HARTING. Follow Us On Facebook,
