VCS-C Series

Name: VCS-C Series
Brand: ADISENS

Compact rectangular current sensing for industrial power conversion.

The VCS-C family is designed for accurate measurement of DC, AC, pulsed and arbitrary-waveform currents. It provides galvanic isolation between the primary power circuit and secondary electronics, with a proportional analog voltage output and a compact rectangular aperture for busbar integration.
