The invention provides a wide-range
broadband current sensor base on a tunnel magnetic resistance effect, and belongs to the field of sensing measurement. The sensor comprises an open
magnet ring, current sensing chips, a compensation coil, a sampling
resistor, an
instrument amplifier, a zeroing circuit, a current output module and a power supply module; the current sensing chips include a high-sensitivity TMR sensing
chip and a low-sensitivity TMR sensing
chip, and are provided with two current
measuring output points; the open
magnet ring sleeves a current carrying lead, so that the current carrying lead penetrates through an inner hole of the open
magnet ring; the compensation coil is wound around the open magnet ring; the high-sensitivity TMR sensing
chip is arranged in an
open air gap position of the open magnet ring; the low-sensitivity TMR sensing chip is arranged outside the open magnet ring; the high-sensitivity TMR sensing chip with other composition parts forms a
closed loop structure; and the low-sensitivity TMR sensing chip, the
instrument amplifier and the zeroing circuit form an open loop structure. The
current sensor has the advantages of being wide in measuring range, wide in
frequency band, small in size, high in precision, low in cost, free of intrusion and convenient to install and maintain.
