An evaluation procedure for comparative analysis of various current sensor technologies is proposed in which performance parameters such as latency and resolution are measured under realistic conditions for a high-power SiC converter. Testing techniques are developed to allow fair comparison between dissimilar sensor types. Experimental data is given for an open-loop Hall Effect sensor and two types of shunt-based sensors utilizing Delta-Sigma modulators.
