Tóm tắt

A current sensor employing a Hall-based field sensing ASIC in combination with a current transformer is proposed. The sensor is characterized by a measuring range of /spl plusmn/50 A, an upper bandwidth limit of 20 MHz and high dV/dt-immunity up to 10 kV//spl mu/s. The sensor functional principle and dimensioning are discussed in detail. Parameters determining the sensor bandwidth are clarified, the theoretical considerations are verified by experiments. Finally, measures for further increasing the sensor bandwidth are proposed.
