On the stage of industrial automation, every precise current monitoring point is critical to the safety of an entire production line. A 0.1% fluctuation in current could be a sign of equipment failure or the start of energy waste. How can your equipment “sense” every tiny current change? The HAS500-S, a high-precision current sensor from LEM (Switzerland), is becoming an indispensable sensing node in high-end industrial applications.
Swiss Quality, Precision Engineering
LEM is a globally leading brand in electrical measurement, with decades of expertise in Hall-effect technology. The HAS500-S series inherits LEM’s hallmark high accuracy, reliability, and ease of use, making it an engineer’s trusted choice. Whether in harsh industrial lines or complex renewable energy systems, LEM provides stable and durable current monitoring.
500A Wide Range Covers Core Applications
Rated at 500A with a maximum measurement range of ±900A, this sensor covers high-power applications such as EV charging stations, photovoltaic inverters, industrial variable frequency drives, and servo systems. One sensor handles everything from normal loads to peak currents.
Fast 1µs Response – Never Miss a Transient Fault
The HAS500-S series achieves response times as fast as 1µs, accurately capturing every change in current waveform under high-speed switching conditions. Whether it is the fine details of PWM pulses from a VFD or current spikes during equipment start-up, all are recorded precisely – the key reason why high-end servo control and precision machining industries eliminate “glitches.”

Open-Loop Hall Effect – Best Balance of Performance & Cost
Using mature and reliable open-loop Hall technology, the HAS500-S achieves ±1% accuracy with lower power consumption and competitive cost – the optimal balance for most industrial applications.
Strong Electrical Isolation
The housing is made of UL 94-V0 PBT insulation material, providing reliable galvanic isolation between primary and secondary circuits with an isolation voltage of 3.6 kVrms. This ensures operator safety and protects downstream control circuits – even under harsh grid conditions with up to 30% harmonic distortion, the sensor delivers a stable, accurate signal.
DC & AC Measurement in One Sensor
With a bandwidth of DC to 50 kHz, the sensor accurately measures both DC and AC currents, eliminating the need to change sensor solutions for different applications. Whether it is a DC bus current in a motor drive or the AC output of a VFD, the HAS500-S handles it with ease.
Compact Design, Plug-and-Play
The modular package and throughhole mounting with a well-planned pin layout allow direct soldering onto PCBs, greatly reducing wiring complexity and installation cost. The HAS500-S is also the optimal choice for space-constrained equipment designs.
The HAS500-S has proven its performance across many industries and is a popular choice for engineers during the selection phase.
