is dependant on the diameter of the wire and thickness
of the insulation. Any wire size can be used in this application.
Sensitivity can be increased by making a wrap around the

Application Engineering Kit - AN_121KIT
• Very High Current in Bus Bar and
Flat conductors
• Bi-directional
This kit is useful in sensing currents in bus bars and
flat conductors. Sensitivity depends on the width and
thickness of the conductor. Increasing the width and thickness
decreases the sensitivity. Currents in the range of 100’s
of amps to thousands of amps can be sensed. By installing
two kits, one each side of the bus bar and taking the
differential output from the two kits, the effect of background
fields is reduced.
