Non-contact current measurement method for removing eccentricity error with magnetic array sensors
A circular array of magnetic sensors is an effective method for non-contact measurement of current due to its low cost,light-weight,large linear range,wide bandwidth,and low noise.In view of large current measurement error of the existing array current sensor while measuring eccentricity,a region-hierarchical analysis method based on the eccentric position of the wire is adopted.By superimposing the output of different weights of the magnetic sensor on different eccentric positions of the current-carrying conductor,and comparing it with the output of the center position of the wire,the maximum relative error is 1.28% and the linear error of the sensor is 1.04%, which overcomes the influence of wire eccentricity on the current measurement error,and the feasibility of the method is proved.
