Description
Summary:Novel rectangular yokeless current transducer with the range 400 A using 16 microfluxgate sensors around the busbar conductor is presented in this paper. Compared to yokeless transducers utilizing the differential pair of magnetic sensors, our solution has much better suppression of external currents (lower crosstalk). Compared to industrial transducers with yoke, the new transducer has to-times lower noise, to-times better temperature stability, and same crosstalk. Sensor design, different methods for calculating the current and temperature dependence are presented in this paper. Crosstalk error is examined in dependence on the number of the operating sensors and external current position.
