Figure 13 (noise power density) shows that there are no significant

Example:
What is the noise from 10 to 100 Hz?
Figure 14 gives In(10 Hz) = 0.26 A and In(100 Hz) = 0.8 A.
The output current noise (rms) is therefore
(0.8 10 ) (0.2610 ) = 0.76 A

Sensitivity and linearity

To measure sensitivity and linearity, the primary voltage (DC)
is cycled from 0 to VPM, then to -VPM and back to 0 (equally
spaced VPM/10 steps).
The sensitivity G is defined as the slope of the linear
regression line for a cycle between VPM.
The linearity error L is the maximum positive or negative
difference between the measured points and the linear
regression line, expressed in % of the maximum measured
value.
Magnetic offset
Due to its working principle, this type of transducer has no
magnetic offset current IOM.
Transducer simplified model
Electrical offset
The static model of the transducer at temperature TA is:

IS = G VP + error

In which

error = IOE + IOT (TA) + G G VP + GT (TA) G VP + L G VPM
The electrical offset current IOE is the residual output current

when the input voltage is zero.
The temperature variation IOT of the electrical offset current
IOE is the variation of the electrical offset from 25C to the
considered temperature.

IS
: the secondary current (A)

G
: the sensitivity of the transducer (A/V)

VP
: the voltage to measure (V)

VPM
: the measuring range (V)

TA
: the ambient temperature (C)

IOE
: the electrical offset current (A)

IOT(TA) : the temperature variation of IO at
temperature TA (A)

G
: the sensitivity error at 25C

GT (TA) : the thermal drift of sensitivity at
temperature TA

L
: the linearity error
Overall accuracy
The overall accuracy XG is the error at VPN, relative to the rated
value VPN.
It includes all errors mentionned above.
Response and reaction times

The response time tr and the reaction time tra are shown in the
next figure.
Both slightly depend on the primary voltage dV/dt. They are
measured at nominal voltage.
This
is
the
absolute
maximum
error.
As
all
errors are independent, a more realistic way to
calculate the error would be to use the following formula:
error =

Caution, risk of electrical shock
Remarks
IS is positive when a positive voltage is applied on +HV.
The transducer is directly connected to the primary voltage.
The primary cables have to be routed together all the way.
The secondary cables also have to be routed together all the
way.
Installation of the transducer is to be done without primary or
secondary voltage present.
This transducer must be used in electric/electronic equipment

with respect to applicable standards and safety requirements
in accordance with the manufacturers operating instructions.
When operating the transducer, certain parts of the module

can carry hazardous voltage (eg. primary busbar, power
supply). Ignoring this warning can lead to injury and/
or cause serious damage. This transducer is a build-in
device, whose conducting parts must be inaccessible after
installation. A protective housing or additional shield could
be used. Main supply must be able to be disconnected.
