Description

The Current Sensor block represents an ideal current sensor, that is, a device that converts current measured in any electrical branch into a physical signal proportional to the current.

Connections + and – are electrical conserving ports through which the sensor is inserted into the circuit. Connection I is a physical signal port that outputs the measurement result.

Dialog Box and Parameters

The block has no parameters.

Ports

The block has the following ports:

+

Electrical conserving port associated with the sensor positive terminal.

-

Electrical conserving port associated with the sensor negative terminal.

I

Physical signal output port for current.
