Can the electrical current sensor monitor bidirectional DC current?
I’m setting up a DC power monitoring system where the current can flow in either direction, depending on how the equipment is running. I’d like to send the readings to my controller, but I’m a bit unsure about which output option to choose. Can this sensor track current in both directions? Also, is there anything I should double-check before wiring it up?
Yes, that’s what this sensor is designed for. It measures bidirectional DC current using a center-zero tracking output, with 12±8 mA and 10±10 mA options available depending on the configuration. You’ll want to check the current range you need, the auxiliary supply voltage, and the type of input your controller supports. If you’re not sure which version fits, just send us those details and we’ll help you narrow it down.
