Magnetic field measurement with high accuracy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the suitability of using Hall Sensors, specifically the AD22151, for measuring magnetic fields in the range of 0 to 50 mT with a resolution of 25 µT. The user expresses concerns about the sensor's specifications, particularly the gain and offset errors, which are ±1% and ±60 mT, respectively, questioning their adequacy for high-accuracy measurements. Temperature fluctuations of up to 1°C are noted, which could impact the sensor's performance. The user seeks clarification on whether the AD22151 can meet their accuracy requirements given these parameters. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for precise sensor specifications in magnetic field measurement applications.

Hi,

I would like to use a Hall Sensor (e.g. http://fwbell.com/Category/2.aspx) or a Hall Element IC, like the AD22151 device for magnetic field measurement with a range from 0 to ca. 0,5 mT with a resolution of 250 nT. (500 ppm) The temperature fluctuations are max 1 C.
Do you think I can use one these sensors for my work?

I realized I made a mistake and the field range is 0- 50 mT and the resolution is 25 uT (=500ppm). Do you think the AD22151 can do this for me? There are some specifications that I don't understand, like the gain and offset errors over temperature range. They are ±1% and ±60 mT, which seems to high for me...
 

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
