Newbie: current ADC ?

If you don't want to break the wire, a current transformer (CT) is the common way of measuring AC current with causing any affect on the current being measured. Dan
Read the full replyHi People,
Does something like a current ADC exist ? I want to digitally measure the current through a wire without introducing a resistor and measuring a voltage drop etc..
Does anyone know of a reasonably simple-to-use IC that does current to digital conversions.
Many thanks and a happy Christmas,
Doug

These are pretty cool:

A clamp (or hall effect) current sensor converts the currnent flowing through any conductor placed inside it's ring/jaws into a small voltage than can be measured.
no. but a clamp sensor (etc) can be connected to a regular ADC (or any other voltage measuring aparatus)
