Abstract
The measurement range of a conventional current sensor is narrow because it is used with signals relative to the rated values of the measurement range from a voltage-type device. Consequently, multiple current sensors must be used in accordance with the measurement range. To address this problem, this paper proposes a new current sensor with a clamp-shaped part for low current measurement and a simple straight structure for high current measurement. The output signals of the proposed current sensor are amplified with a Hall element using the magnetic force of a rectangular air gap inside the clamp. To verify the characteristics of the proposed current sensor, a current was applied to an external load, and the value determined by the current sensor noted. Then, electromagnetic field analysis was performed through current sensor modeling and the results obtained compared to the actual sensor results. The proposed sensor had a 1% linearity in the output signals and exhibited dynamic characteristics over a wide current range.
