Achieve precise and efficient power monitoring on your high-power FPV drone with the MATEKSYS Hall Effect Current Sensor. This professional-grade sensor is engineered to measure up to 150A of continuous current without introducing the voltage drop and heat associated with traditional shunt-based sensors. It’s the ultimate solution for builders of large FPV drone kits, X8 cinelifters, and long-range rigs who demand accuracy and maximum efficiency.
The Hall Effect Advantage
Unlike a standard current-sensing PDB that passes all power through a resistor, this sensor uses the Hall effect to measure the magnetic field generated by the current flow. This non-invasive method means it adds virtually zero resistance to your power system. The benefits are significant: no power loss, no voltage drop under load, and no heat generated by the sensor itself, leading to a more efficient and reliable FPV drone.
High-Power 150A Capability
The HCS-150A is built for the most demanding FPV drone applications. It can continuously measure DC current from 0 to 150A, making it ideal for large, power-hungry setups like 7-inch to 10-inch long-range quads or heavy-lift cinematic drones. Each unit is meticulously calibrated at the factory for both offset and sensitivity, ensuring you get accurate readings right out of the box.
Important Installation Information
For accurate readings, it is crucial to mount the Hall sensor away from strong magnetic fields. Ensure it is installed away from iron materials, magnets (like those in motors), and high-current power wires not passing through the sensor.
