Industry current sensors HBO range
Open loop technology

A single size for every rating

With a single size for every rating (from 100 A to 600 A),
2 HBO current sensors give you the possibility of increasing
equipment standardisation.

A precise response to customer
expectations

The HBO sensor has been designed using Open Loop Hall ef-
fect technology, thereby adding a whole new type to the vari-
ous sensor technologies used by ABB. The HBO range enables
ABB to offer an additional range of sensors that are suitable for
less technically demanding applications and ensure best cost
competitiveness. Customers are therefore free to choose the
most suitable solution for their applications.

Quality that goes beyond standards

ABB have been ISO 9001 certified since 1993 and our stan-
dard HBO sensors bear the CE label in Europe.
This ongoing striving after quality has always been the hallmark
of a company where excellence and safety are part of the cul-
ture, from design right through to production.
This culture is the result of continuous research to make techni-
cal progress and meet our customers' demands.

The chief selling-point of HBO sensors is their quality. Com-
pliance of their high-tech electronic design with standard EN
50178 is proof of their ability to comply with the most detailed
constraint as well as major demands. The fact that each indi-
vidual sensor is subjected to rigorous testing is proof of the Vertical or horizontal
importance ABB attribute to quality.
Assemblers can choose 2 methods of fastening ABB sensors:
horizontally or vertically.
Environment-friendly

ABB have long been concerned with the protection of the
environment, as proved by the ISO 14001 certification they
received in 1998. This environmental approach is particularly
noticeable in the production of the HBO range in the reduction
of the number of components, in the use of a low-energy
manufacturing procedure and the use of recyclable packing.
The products in use are also characterized by their reduced
energy consumption.
Our HBO range is RoHS compliant.
