Addressing Temperature Drift in Hall Effect Current Sensors
Apr 25, 2025
Introduction
Hall effect current sensors are widely used in various industries for accurate current measurement. However, one of the key challenges with these sensors is temperature drift, which can affect measurement accuracy over varying operating conditions. Nanjing Token, a leading manufacturer of current sensors, has developed advanced solutions to mitigate this issue.
Understanding Temperature Drift
Temperature drift refers to the variation in a sensor's output due to changes in ambient temperature. In Hall effect sensors, this can occur due to:
Changes in the magnetic properties of the core material
Variations in the Hall element's sensitivity
Thermal expansion affecting mechanical alignment
