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.
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.
IPhysical signal output port for current.
