The HX10-P from LEM is a current transducer designed for electronic measurement of DC, AC, pulsed, and mixed currents. It provides galvanic isolation between the primary (measured) current and the secondary (output) signal. This transducer is frequently used in applications requiring accurate and reliable current measurement in demanding environments.

Additional Details:
The HX10-P operates by sensing the magnetic field generated by the primary current flowing through an integrated core. A Hall effect sensor measures this magnetic field, and a compensation current is generated in the secondary winding to counteract the primary field. The secondary current is proportional to the primary current and provides an isolated measurement signal. The HX10-P typically requires a dual power supply (+/- 15V or +/- 12V). It is available in various mounting configurations, and provides a robust and reliable solution for current measurement in a wide range of industrial applications. The output is typically a current, proportional to the measured current, which can be easily converted to a voltage for interfacing with control systems or data acquisition equipment.
