FAQ's


1. What is a split core DC current sensor and how does it work?
A split core DC current sensor measures current without interrupting the circuit, using a hinged core that clamps around the conductor for easy installation.
2. Where can I buy high-quality split core DC current sensors in Australia?
You can buy high-quality split core DC current sensors in Australia from Fastron Electronics, a trusted local supplier with extensive industry experience.
3. What is a Hall effect current sensor and how is it different from other current sensors?
A Hall effect current sensor measures current using magnetic fields, allowing non-contact sensing—unlike traditional sensors that rely on direct electrical contact.
4. How accurate are Hall effect current sensors for measuring DC current?
Hall effect current sensors are designed to offer reliable and consistent measurements for DC current applications.
5. Can I use a split core Hall effect DC current sensor for industrial applications?
Yes, split core Hall effect DC current sensors are suitable for various industrial applications, including energy monitoring and process control.
6. What are the benefits of using a split core DC current sensor in power monitoring?
Split core DC current sensors allow quick installation without circuit interruption and provide accurate current measurements for power monitoring systems.
7. How does a Hall effect current sensor measure current without direct contact?
A Hall effect current sensor detects the magnetic field generated by the current and converts it into a readable signal—no direct contact is needed.
8. What is the maximum current range for your split core Hall effect DC current sensors?
You can find split core Hall effect DC current sensors in a variety of current ranges. Contact Fastron Electronics for model-specific options.
9. Are split core Hall effect DC current sensors suitable for use in electrical panels?

10. Do your current sensors provide both AC and DC measurement capabilities?
Some current sensors are capable of measuring both AC and DC, depending on the model. You can explore suitable options at Fastron Electronics.
11. How do I install a split core DC current sensor in an electrical circuit?
To install a split core DC current sensor, simply open the hinged core, place it around the conductor, and secure the connection as per the guidelines.
12. Can a Hall effect current sensor be used in renewable energy systems like solar power?
Yes, a Hall effect current sensor can be used in renewable systems like solar power for monitoring and managing DC output.
13. Are split core Hall effect DC current sensors available in various sizes?
Yes, split core Hall effect DC current sensors are available in multiple sizes to suit different cable diameters and current ratings.
14. What are the main applications of split core DC current sensors?
Split core DC current sensors are used in energy monitoring, industrial automation, electrical panels, and renewable energy systems.
