Current Sense Transformer Application Design Guidelines
The standard for precise current measurement in instrumentation and other high reliability equipment applications has been the current sense transformer. They are accurate, easy to implement, and reliable under harsh environmental and thermal conditions. In electronic systems applications such as switch-mode power supplies, current transformers are generally used for control, circuit-protection, and monitoring features. With […]
THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CURRENT SENSE TRANSFORMER DESIGN
The following paper will first review the basic principles of operation of a Current Sense Transformer and then follow a simplified design procedure. The design procedure will take into account the effects of temperature and frequency and how they relate to the choice of a magnetic core. Current sense trans formers (CTs) are used in […]
INDUCTIVE CURRENT SENSOR BASED ON NANOCRYSTALLINE ALLOYS
In this paper are described the design and application of an inductive magnetic sensor based on nanocrystalline alloys. The sensor is adjusted for measurement and monitoration of currents with intensities from some microamperes to miliamperes. Its functional behaviour, performance and a specific application are described. One of the biggest advantages of this current sensor is […]
