UNBONDED STRAIN
GAUGE
• The unbonded strain gage consists of a wire stretched
between two points in an insulating medium such as air. One
end of the wire is fixed and the other end is attached to a
movable element.

DC Supply 54
Hall Effect
• Input Voltage
This is the required voltage to activate the device is +SV.
•Frequency Range
The range of frequency thi s sensor can operate is 20Hz - 20kHz.
• Response Time
The response time of t his sensor is the time taken between t he input excitation application &
the appearanceof the equivalent o/p signal.The response time of this sensor is< 20 ns.
• Accuracy
The accuracy of the current sensor is above 90%.
Shunt Re
• Shunt resistor type current sensor is mainly used for
sistor
measuring DC current. Once a DC current is supplied
throughout a resist or, then the voltage will be
produced across the resist or, so the shunt
resistor is designed based on this principle.
• The main benefits of these sensors are less cost,
response speed is fast, and accuracy is high whereas
the drawbacks are; the measurement circuit is not
isolated electrically from the flow of the current being
measured. This is appropriate in small amplitude and
low-frequency current measurements.

Hall Effect Current
Sensors
• Hall current sensor is made according to the Hall effect and Ampere ' s
law principles. These sensors are used for measuring both AC & DC
currents with u p to 100 KHz fr equency . These sensors mainly include
a Hall effect device, core, and signal conditioning circuitry. They
operate based on the Hall Effect which states that, once current is
supplied throughout a conductor then it forms a magnetic field.
• If this conductor is arranged in another magnetic field, then the
magnetic field generated by the conductor wil l communicate with the
external magnetic field so that electrons move to a single side of the
conductor. So, this will create a voltage that is proport ional to the flow
of current throughout it & can be measured.
• The main benefits of these sensors are good isolation & high precision
whereas their drawbacks are; the influence speed is very slow. It has
high precision and good isolation and the disadvantages are; the
influence speed is slow & small current measurement lacks accuracy.
