Hi,
I'm looking at using a Honeywell LOHET 1 current sensor to measure currents up to 32A. As far as i can tell from the data available, it produces an output voltage that varies as the magnetic field varies within the gauss range...
I am no where near up to scratch with my physics, and I'm a bit confused as to what this actually means. In sensing AC current, will the output voltage be a proportional AC voltage, or will it be a DC voltage proportional to the RMS AC current being sensed?
I'm pretty sure it will be an AC voltage proportional to the AC current being sensed, but i thought i'd better double check with you guys before i go ahead and design my ADC input circuits..
Thanks a lot
Sam
