Be aware that some power supplies are ½ wave rectified producing an average rather than true DC. The Current Sensor will ‘pick up’ the fluctuations in voltage and current from this type of power supply. The Current sensor should be placed in series with the circuit component through which the current is measured. Currents in either direction can be measured. The Current sensors have a very low resistance so that they introduce as little resistance as possible to the circuit.
