AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In view of the development needs of the smart grid, the existing current transformers have great limitations: they are large in size, and the installation space on transmission and distribution lines and busbars is extremely limited; Not economical enough; single function, only suitable for power frequency AC signals, unable to measure DC, transient and high-order harmonics, etc.

Since the open magnetic ring 1 has the function of converging the magnetic field, the use of the open magnetic ring 1 further improves the sensitivity of the current probe, but reduces the current measurement upper limit of the current probe, and the traditional tunneling reluctance current sensor is very easy to saturate when measuring large currents

In addition, the use of the magnetic ring makes the chip in the air gap of the magnetic ring vulnerable to damage when measuring large currents, which limits the popularization and use of tunneling magnetoresistive current sensors
