 		 #172943 - Can a Hall Effect Sensor work equally well as a CT?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Kiran V. Sutar said:
For another application, I am using a Triac in phase angle firing mode to control the power to the load. I want to record the exact shape of the Current flowing through the SCR. At present I am using a Current Transformer for it.

Can a Hall Effect Sensor work equally well as a Current Transformer?

In principle, yes - but you would have to check the Datasheet for the particular Hall effect device for any specific restrictions/limitations...
