Additional Details:
The HTFS 400-P/SP2 operates based on the Hall effect principle, where the magnetic field generated by the primary current is measured by a Hall sensor. The output is typically a current or voltage proportional to the primary current. Key specifications include the measurement range (e.g., ±400 A), accuracy, linearity, and isolation voltage. The transducer requires a DC power supply for operation. Datasheets provide detailed electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and safety guidelines. The "SP2" likely designates a specific configuration or modification of the standard HTFS 400-P.
