Alps has developed a range of precision current sensors designed for the fine control of motor operation to optimise power consumption. Current sensors generally employ one of two approaches-measurement based on shunt resistance, or measurement of the magnetic flux generated around a current. The DC current transformer (DCCT) flux measurement approach is widely used as it can be low cost. It ...
