8.2.2.3 Application Curves

Figure 74 and Figure 75 show the measurement results on a 16-mm wide and 6-mm thick copper busbar with a 12-mm hole diameter using the circuit shown in Figure 73. The two DRV425-Q1 devices are placed at a distance of 1 mm from each other on opposite sides of the PCB. The measurement range is ±500 A; measurement results are limited by test setup. Independent operation of the two DRV425-Q1 sensors increases the measurement range to ±1000 A with the same busbar geometry.
