Current Sensor Relay

A current sensor relay is a device that is used to measure and control the current flow in an electrical circuit. It is typically used in industrial applications to protect equipment from over-currents and to monitor the power consumption of an electrical system. The current sensor relay is composed of two parts: a sensing element and a control element. The sensing element is usually a current transformer or a Hall effect device, which measures the current in the circuit. The control element is usually a relay, which is used to switch the circuit on or off when the current reaches a certain level. The current sensor relay is designed to be highly accurate and reliable, and it is often used in safety-critical applications such as medical equipment and industrial machinery. It is also used in energy management systems to help reduce energy consumption and to improve efficiency.
