    摘要: A circuit breaker having a housing, a pair of separable contacts, a current sensor strap in electrical communication with the contacts, an operating mechanism for operating the contacts, an electronic trip unit in operable communication with the sensor strap and the mechanism, and a current transformer is disclosed. The current transformer has a mixed material magnetic core having a first layer of material having a relatively high magnetic permeability, and a second layer of material having a relatively low magnetic permeability abutting the first layer of material. The core has a profile with an opening therethrough for accepting the sensor strap. A signal generator is disposed proximate the core to provide an output signal representative of a magnetic flux associated with the sensor strap. The mixed material magnetic core exhibits a dynamic range greater than a dynamic range of a similar shaped magnetic core having only one material of the first layer of material and the second layer of material.

    摘要: A method permits calibration of a current sensor having a conductor that comprises at least two conductor branches electrically connected in parallel. The method comprises passing a predetermined electrical current through the conductor, measuring a fraction of the current that passes through a measured conductor branch, which is one of the two conductor branches, comparing the measured current against a predetermined target current, trimming a calibrating conductor, which is one of the at least two conductor branches, the trimming taking place when said measured current and said predetermined target current are not equal.

    摘要: A current sensor and current transformer for monitoring electrical current is provided with a magnetic core having a mixture of magnetic materials to provide a low cost design in a compact configuration with an expanded dynamic range. The mixed material core can be fabricated either from stamped laminations or from coil stock and may include an air gap for activating a magnetic flux sensor. Multiple core configurations, including Figure-O, Figure-C, and Figure-8, having mixed material construction are disclosed and offer advantages over non-mixed material cores where dynamic range and frequency response characteristics are a consideration.
