Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of resistance processing technology, and specifically to a dual current sensor with a Hall effect and a shunt. Background Technology
[0002] A current sensor is a device that can sense the current being detected and convert it into a usable output signal. It is typically used for detecting AC and DC currents.
[0003] Existing current sensors are generally based on the Hall effect principle. They use a Hall element to sense the magnetic field around the current being measured and convert it into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed by a series of circuits to output a suitable analog signal for current detection. However, these sensors have a low measurement range, are highly susceptible to environmental influences, and are inconvenient to install, failing to meet current requirements for miniaturization and lightweight design. Methods for measuring large currents typically involve passing the current through a shunt resistor. However, this method consumes too much power, generates significant heat, and affects detection accuracy. Furthermore, because existing current sensor structures are largely fixed, they cannot fully meet the specific installation or application requirements.
[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a dual current sensor with both Hall effect and shunt functions. Summary of the Invention
