DC current transducer

[John_R]

Hey All,

I have a little project where I want to monitor DC current in a panel where there is currently mechanical amp meters.

I'm trying to find some sort of a DC current transducer 0-10Adc input (minimum), that will give me a 0-10Vdc output.

A search of the web brought up little results, so I thought I'd ask the community if anyone has any suggestions...

These are what we use-

You can take the 50A sensor and wrap five turns through it to get a 10A transducer.

I love the way the forum opens up sources I've never found.  Joe's recommendation has lots of goodies.

A supplier I occasionally use here in Aus has lots of things like this:

I have never used but have been seriously considering this next one for a special project.  It has 2 things that appeal, it does both modbus and 0-10, and it is AC or DC and can be bipolar.

Well gee Joe, I was on your vendor list web page yesterday and missed this one completely.....

Sometimes its easier to ask and have someone wave it under your nose than to do relentless research on the web 😌
