1 Description
The Evaluation kit provides the needed information and components to evaluate the current sensors
MLX91205 and/or CSA-1V. The main goal is to show the functionalities and the features of the parts in a
simple and effective way, without the need of investing precious time and money for evaluation design.
The kit includes:
•

2 Specification of EC-01
The included PCB utilizes PCB traces for medium current range measurements. This arrangement was
created for continuous currents up to ±30 A RMS, but can handle, without damage, short current peaks up to
±50 A. The typical sensitivity obtained with this design with and without the use of a magnetic shield is shown
on the last page in the typical Output diagram.

3 Specification of EC-02
The included PCB utilizes PCB loops for small current range measurements. This arrangement was created
for continuous currents up to ±30 A RMS, but can handle, without damage, short current peaks up to ±50 A.
The typical sensitivity obtained with this design with and without the use of a magnetic shield is shown on the
last page in the typical Output diagram.

5 Shield description
The shield is made of soft ferromagnetic material with a high µr value, this attracts and concentrates the
magnetic flux. In order to get a low hysteresis the shields are annealed after shaping. Any applied mechanical
stress will deteriorate the performance and should be avoided. The purpose of the shield is to concentrate the
wanted signal and to reduce the influence of stray fields. Our shield is usable for busbar and PCB
applications.

Recommendation
•
The closer the sensor to the ground plate of the shield,
the better the shielding against external stray fields
try to position the sensor as close as possible to the
ground plate of the shield
•
The higher and longer the shield the better the
shielding
choose the right dimension for your application
•
The closer the sensor to the bus bar the better is the
signal to noise ratio
try to position the sensor as close as possible to the
busbar
