[SOLVED] some question about hall current probe

[okman]

hi guys
i need to learn the idea of operation of hall current probe .
and for what is used?

and hall current probe is hall effect sensor????

The term hall current probe isn't quite clear, I think. I would use it for DC current sensors with open magnetical path, based on hall effect sensors. Like this instrument https://www.tti-test.com/go/iprober/index.htm

thank u FvM

yes , it based on hall effect sensor, it use for measuring current (AC or DC) in PCB that is cannot be measuring by clamped device .
but hall effect sensor used with clamped devices . now i need construction of hall current probe and how hall effect sensor used with current probe.

It's basically simple. Consider the geometry of a conductor's magnetic field. Place a hall sensor in a way that it gives maximum measurement signal.
