A device for measuring a current flowing in an electrical conductor. The device comprises a magnetic circuit coupled to an electrical conductor. The magnetic circuit has an air gap and a magnetic field sensitive component disposed in the air gap to measure a magnetic field generated by the electrical conductor. A control core has a control winding configured to control an effective length of the air gap when the control winding is energized. A magnetic shield at least partially encloses the magnetic circuit, the magnetic field sensitive component and the control core.

Device and method for measuring a current flowing in an electrical conductor

A device for measuring a current flowing in an electrical conductor that has a magnetic circuit coupled to an electrical conductor. The magnetic circuit has an air gap and a magnetic field sensitive component disposed in the air gap to measure a magnetic field generated by the electrical conductor. At least one control core with a control winding is included to control an effective length of the air gap when the control winding is energized.

Method and device for measuring a current flowing in an electrical conductor

A device is provided for measuring a current flowing in an electrical conductor with a magnetic circuit for coupling to the electrical conductor. The magnetic circuit has an air gap, and a magnetic field sensitive component is disposed in the air gap. The magnetic field sensitive component measures the magnetic field generated by the electrical conductor. Two control cores are disposed in the air gap to control an effective size of the air gap. The control cores each have a control winding for magnetic saturation of the respective control core to control the effective length of the air gap. The magnetic field sensitive component is disposed between the control cores.
