Current Transducers Surpass IEEE 1451 Measurement Reporting Standards
With a new Transducer Electronic Datasheet (TEDS) functionality built into its current-sense transducers, Danisense hopes to help engineers streamline lab testing procedures. The TEDS functionality offers easier setup and improves measurement accuracy in laboratory environments.
Test engineers looking for an augmented dataset from current-sense transducers will find Danisense’s TEDS functionality fits the bill. The company’s transducers now reach beyond the requirements of the IEEE 1451 TEDS standard to provide additional data. Whereas the IEEE standard only includes basic details such as transducer type, model, serial number, and turns ratio, Danisense’s TEDS provides engineers with expanded parameters that are vital to improving overall performance.

That enhanced dataset includes offset data as well as AC and DC calibration data, allowing for engineers to implement compensation loops that enhance the transducer's overall accuracy and performance. In addition, phase-shift data is available, enabling the introduction of phase-compensation strategies that extend accuracy over a broader frequency range.
Also within Danisense’s TEDS implementation is power-supply information, setting power limits to avoid setup errors and ensuring precise calibration management by including calibration dates and alarms. As a result, users can easily track and schedule regular calibration periods.
The new TEDS functionality is available across Danisense’s current transducer range, covering both current and voltage outputs.
