CURRENT MEASURING UNITS (CMU)

Product Details & Applications

CMUs measures current with optical isolation mainly applicable for High Voltage systems. It’s primary role in High voltage power supply is to monitor current fast dynamics during Over Load condition. It provides additional digital event for Over current detection. It provides slow and accurate measurement for real time control system.
