    摘要: The invention relates to a fault current detection device for an overhead power line. The fault current detection device is configured to apply a fault detection algorithm which includes a duration test and a return to normal test. The fault current detection device reports a fault current to a remote fault monitoring device only if both tests are passed. The fault monitoring device is configured to apply an alert ranking algorithm to determine which of a plurality of the fault current detection devices is closest to a fault. The alert ranking algorithm includes identifying or establishing a location of an upstream source associated with the fault current detection devices and classifying the fault current detection device which is the furthest downstream from the upstream source as the closest to the fault. A fault current detection method and a fault detection system and method are disclosed.

    摘要: A sensor device for detecting voltage in a conductor cable includes a sense electrode to be disposed over a surface of the conductor cable to cover a sense region having a sense axial width and a sense circumferential length and a reference electrode to be disposed over the surface of the conductor cable to cover a reference region. The reference region has an axial position adjacent the axial position of the sense region and has a reference circumferential length greater than the sense circumferential length. The sensor device further includes a charge measurement circuit connected in series between the sense electrode and the reference electrode to measure a charge measurement and circuitry to compare the charge measurement to a threshold to detect a presence of the voltage in the conductor cable.

    摘要: Systems and methods provide a non-contact current measurement system which operates to measure alternating current flowing through an insulated wire without requiring galvanic contact with the insulated wire. The measurement system may include a magnetic field sensor that is selectively positionable proximate an insulated wire under test. In operation the magnetic field sensor detects a magnetic field generated by the current flowing in the insulated wire. Using an adjustable clamp assembly, the measurement system provides control over the mechanical positioning of the insulated wire relative to the magnetic field sensor to ensure consistent measurements. The non-contact current measurement system may determine information relating to the physical dimensions (e.g., diameter) of the insulated wire. Using the detected magnetic field, the known mechanical positioning, and the determined information relating to the physical dimensions of the insulated wire, the measurement system accurately determines the magnitude of the current flowing through the insulated wire without galvanic contact.

    摘要: Improved devices, apparatuses, systems, and methods involving the use of field probes with voltage-controlled variable impedance elements and surface-launched acoustic wave devices, including surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices and SAW sensor-tag wireless interface devices to measure voltage and current in current carrying conductors (CCCs) via measurement of the electric fields and magnetic fields around said CCCs are disclosed. The devices, apparatuses, systems, and methods taught in the present invention include a remotely powered line-mounted measurement unit that requires no connection to electrical ground for operation, and that has no internal energy source, no energy harvesting or power conditioning circuitry, no discrete energy storage components, and no radio. The devices, apparatuses, systems, and methods taught in the present invention also provide for determining the phase (leading or lagging) of the current relative to the voltage in AC power systems, and also provide for measurement of temperature of the conductor.

    摘要: Each of three magnetic sensors is positioned on a first virtual line that passes the centers of two magnetic shields in the width direction and is perpendicular to a virtual plane, so a value detected by the magnetic sensor is less likely to be influenced by an external magnetic field. The first virtual line and the center of a conductor intersecting the first virtual line are separated from each other by a certain distance. Therefore, even if a distance from the center of the conductor in the width direction to the magnetic sensor is short, it is possible to improve, on a high-frequency side, frequency characteristics in the detection sensitivity of the magnetic sensor for the frequency of the current under measurement.

    摘要: When a through hole is formed in a primary conductor, a measurement target current partially becomes a bypass current that flows around the through hole. Only a magnetic field component in the X-axis direction is generated from the current that flows through a portion without the influence of the through hole. However, the bypass current generates a magnetic field component in the Y-axis direction at the tilt portion. A magnetic detection element having a magnetic field detection sensitivity only in the Y-axis direction is installed near the through hole such that the magnetic field detection direction is set in the Y-axis direction, thereby detecting the magnetic field component and measuring the current amount without the influence of a neighboring current.

    摘要: A current bus that includes an opening that extends from one side of the current bus to an opposing side of the current bus. The opening changes in size as the opening extends from one side of the current bus to the opposing side of the current bus. The opening may include a first diameter and a second diameter that is different than the first diameter. The opening may include a first thickness at the first diameter of the opening which may be much smaller than a second thickness of the current bus. A high accuracy current measurement of the current bus may require that the magnetic field profile of the current bus within the opening be non-linear (e.g., 3rd order polynomial with the highest value of the 3rd degree coefficient).

    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) current sensor that self-calibrates to adjust its signal gain when employed in a current divider configuration is presented. The current sensor includes an integrated current conductor, a magnetic field transducer, a controllable gain stage and a calibration controller. The integrated current conductor is adapted to receive a portion of a calibration current. The calibration current corresponds to a full scale current. The magnetic field transducer, responsive to the calibration current portion, provides a magnetic field signal having a magnitude proportional to a magnetic field generated by the calibration current portion. The controllable gain stage is configured to amplify the magnetic field signal with an adjustable gain to provide an amplified magnetic field signal. The calibration controller is responsive to a calibration command signal to adjust the adjustable gain of the controllable gain stage to a calibrated gain in order to provide the amplified magnetic field signal at a predetermined voltage level that corresponds to a desired current sensor output signal voltage level if the full scale current were received by the integrated current conductor.

    摘要: The present invention describes systems and methods for determining current flow through a current-carrying utility asset. An exemplary embodiment can include measuring a first magnetic induction value at a first location near a targeted current-carrying utility asset and a second magnetic induction value at a second location near the targeted asset where the first location is a known distance from the second location; determining a correlation between a spatial angle and an electrical phase angle between the targeted asset and a second asset where the second asset contributes a first and second error component to the first and second magnetic induction values respectively; estimating error values for the first and second error components using the correlation between the spatial angle and the electrical phase angle; and estimating a current flowing through the targeted asset using the first and second magnetic induction values, the known distance, and the error values.
