Current Transducer LTS 6 NP

Week no: week 3 (16/8/2012)

Objective: To testing current transducer LTS 6NP

Content:

This current transducer can measure the current to 6 amp, current input base on recommended connection of in and output pin (refer datasheet). The output this current transducer is in voltage. This sensor features is closed loop (compensated)  multi range current transducer using half effect and it uni-polar voltage supply. it insulated plastic case recognized according to UL 94-VO. However it compact design for PCB mounting. It incorporated measuring resistance and extended measuring range. Another application is AC variable speed drives and servo motor drives. It also static converters DC motor speed drives. Furthermore, it also can implement with battery as back up supply. it also uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) and switch mode power supplies (SMPS). Lastly it also can be used for power supplies welding appications.

 The figure above show the circuit that i should use to connect from solar panel current sensor LTS 6 NP. The positive of solar panel will connected to the current sensor at pin number one and the negative terminal will connected to the ground. For this circuit it use IRF540 which is as known as power mosfet.The Mosfet act like a voltage controlled current source. It also handle significant power level.The power mosfet is most widely used low voltage switch. It can be found in most power supplies, DC to DC converters, and low voltage motor controllers. For this circuit this application is used because the voltage from solar is very tiny.

Conclusion:
From this circuit it will be used to design my project.
