Table 1 Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages between Hall effect current sensor and shunt resistance

From: Sensing as the key to the safety and sustainability of new energy storage devices

 

Hall effect current sensor

Shunt resistor

Accuracy

Average accuracy

High accuracy

Influence

Independent of temperature; large deviation at low current

Easily affected by high temperature; Not suitable for high current as severe heating

Range

Large current range (Up to1000A)

Usually less than 20A

Volume

Large

Small size, easy to integrate

Energy dissipation

High

Low

Galvanic isolation

Demand

Not Required
