Abstract:
An arrangement for reading out an analog voltage input signal includes an input applying the input signal thereto, and a reference unit generating an analog reference voltage. To perform online self-calibration, the arrangement includes a superposition unit generating a combined analog signal by superimposing the analog reference voltage onto the input signal, a converting unit converting the combined analog signal into a one-bit serial data stream at a conversion sampling rate, and a decomposition unit, which includes at least two digital filters configured to generate from the serial data stream two corresponding digital signals at different data rates, which can be less than the conversion sampling rate. Two data processing units calculate from the corresponding digital signal a digital input voltage representing the input signal and a digital reference voltage representing the analog reference voltage or a disturbance voltage signal representing parasitic voltage components introduced by the superposition unit, respectively.
Abstract:
An arrangement for measuring a current with a Rogowski type current transducer and transducer electronics. The current transducer has a primary conductor winding for carrying the rated current to be measured, and a secondary conductor winding. The secondary conductor winding adapted to induce a voltage signal VS′ between a pair of second terminals. The current transducer having a third conductor winding adapted to receive a calibration current signal. The voltage signal VS′ contains a coil sensitivity S and is a superposition of a rated current voltage signal and an additional calibration signal. The transducer electronics being adapted to amplify both the current voltage signal and the calibration signal in the same amplifier and divide the amplified current voltage signal by that part of the amplified calibration signal that contains the coil sensitivity and the gain.

An arrangement for reading out an analog voltage signal includes a voltage signal input for applying the analog voltage signal thereto, a reference unit configured to generate an analog reference voltage, and a converting unit configured to convert an analog input signal into a digital output signal. To enable online self-calibration of the arrangement, the arrangement includes a superposition unit configured to receive the analog voltage signal and the analog reference voltage. The superposition unit includes a modulation unit configured to generate a modulated reference voltage from the analog reference voltage. The superposition unit is configured to generate a combined analog signal by superimposing the modulated reference voltage onto the analog voltage signal, and to forward the combined analog signal to the converting unit.
