    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a first conductive path over a substrate, a coil structure over the substrate, and a ferromagnetic structure. The first conductive path is configured to carry a first time-varying current and to generate a first time-varying magnetic field based on the first time-varying current. The coil structure is magnetically coupled with the first conductive path, and is configured to generate an induced electrical potential responsive to the first time-varying magnetic field. The ferromagnetic structure includes an open portion. The first conductive path extends through the open portion of the ferromagnetic structure. The first conductive path includes a first conductive line below the ferromagnetic structure, a second conductive line above the ferromagnetic structure, and a first via plug coplanar with the ferromagnetic structure. The first via plug electrically coupling the first conductive line and the second conductive line.

    摘要: Systems for improvements in electrical power distribution and monitoring systems for data centers. A system can include a circuit breaker, a set of phased current transformers (CTs), a neutral CT, and a metering device. The circuit breaker can be mounted in a first enclosure. Additionally, the set of phased CTs can be positioned in a first component arrangement of a second enclosure. The set of phased CTs can be coupled to the circuit breaker and be configured to measure a current value flowing through the circuit breaker. Moreover, the neutral CT can be positioned in a second component arrangement of the second enclosure. The neutral No errors found. CT can be coupled to the circuit breaker. Furthermore, the metering device can be configured to transmit data associated with the current value to a display device.

    摘要: A current converter with fluid or oil paper insulation for high voltage, with a head housing through which a primary conductor passes. A measurement device through which the primary conductor passes is arranged in the head housing. The primary conductor includes two different primary conductor types, more specifically an outer tube primary conductor as the first type and one or more inner conductor primary conductors as the second type. The outer tube primary conductor surrounds an interior that is designed to receive the inner conductor primary conductor, and the inner conductor primary conductors can be inserted into the interior. The outer tube primary conductor is used to transmit power and creates an encasement for the inner conductors. Only the outer tube primary conductor needs to be sealed with respect to the head housing. Inner conductors therefore can be easily inserted or re-moved subsequently, without the need for sealing measures.

    摘要: A current transformer (CT) for the purpose of, for example, current measurement, that uses a power line as a first coil and a second coil for measurement purposes, is further equipped with a third coil. Circuitry connected to the third coil is adapted to inject a known reference signal to the third coil of the CT. The injected reference signal, i.e., current, generates signals in the first and second coils of the CT. The signal generated in the second coil is compared using circuitry attached thereto to the reference signal. Based on the results, and the difference between the expected results and the actual results, updated calibration parameters are determined. These provide improved accuracy when using the CT, for example for measurement of the like of current or phase of the primary coil when measurements are adjusted using the newly determined calibration parameters.

    摘要: A current transformer includes first and second transformer assemblies that each respectively comprise first and second groups of stacked iron core components. A first interface and a second interface are defined at an end of the first transformer assembly. A third interface and a fourth interface are defined at an end of the second transformer assembly. At least one of the first interface and the second interface is detachably connected with at least one of the third interface and the fourth interface. When the first and second transformer assemblies are connected with each other, the first and second groups of iron core components are combined to form a plurality of closed ring-shaped iron cores, and coils are respectively wound on at least two closed ring-shaped iron cores. An enclosed area defined between the first and second transformer assemblies causes induced current to be generated in at least one coil.
