Abstract: Current transducers are widely used in current measuring systems. They provide good isolation between the supply voltage and the measurement equipment. However they can introduce small phase errors which can become significant sources of error if the current to a load is out of phase with the supply voltage for the load. This disclosure discusses a robust measurement apparatus and method that can be used in situ to monitor for and correct phase errors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to power conversion apparatus (40) configured to receive a high voltage alternating current (AC) signal at an input (42, 44) and to provide in dependence thereon a low voltage direct current (DC) signal from an output stage (58, 60). The power conversion apparatus (40) comprises a main path comprising a high voltage capacitor (46) in series with the input. The power conversion apparatus (40) also comprises a first path operative to carry current carried by the main path in at least one of a positive going part and a negative going part of the high voltage alternating current signal and a second path operative to carry current carried by the main path in a positive going part and a negative going part of the high voltage alternating current signal. The power conversion apparatus further comprises first and second switches (52, 54) which are operative to determine when a respective one of the first and second paths carries current. In the power conversion apparatus, the output stage (58, 60) receives current flowing in the first path and at least one of the first and second switches (52, 54) is operable in dependence on a control signal derived from the low voltage direct current signal.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide mechanisms for measuring currents flowing in one or more conductor wires. The mechanisms are based on using magnetic sensor pairs arranged within a housing with an opening for the wires, where each magnetic sensor pair can generate a pair of signals indicative of magnetic fields in two different directions. The outputs of the sensor pairs can be used to derive a measure of current(s) flowing through the one or more wires. The use of magnetic sensor pairs that can measure magnetic field in two different directions may enable simultaneous current measurement in multiple wires placed within the opening, improve accuracy of current measurements while relaxing requirements for precise control of the placement of the wire(s), reduce the impact of stray magnetic interference, and enable both AC and DC measurements.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an improved Rogowski-type current sensor. In order to allow the sensing coil and the compensation wire to overlap, the sensor is produced using two boards. The current sensing coil is provided on one board, and the compensation wire is provided on another board. The coil and the wire are arranged such that they at least partially overlap, and ideally the compensation wire is formed entirely within the area defined by the coil, albeit in a different plane. This arrangement makes the current sensor far better at rejecting interference than prior art PCB arrangements. In addition, the coil may be formed on a two-sided board. The board has upper radial elements formed on an upper surface, and lower radial elements formed on lower surface. The radial elements are connected using vias formed in the board. The upper radial elements are arranged in a first plane, and the lower radial elements are formed in a second parallel plane. The upper radial elements are arranged so that they are aligned with the lower radial elements, such that a pair of radial elements form a radial plane that is perpendicular to the board surface. This symmetry ensures excellent sensitivity to currents in a conductor.
