Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a sensor for measuring the direction and strength of a magnetic field based on the giant magnetoresistance effect, and belongs to the technical field of magnetic field measurement. technical background
[0002] In transmission lines and substations, normal operating currents, short-circuit currents and surge currents will generate very strong magnetic fields in the surrounding space. The key component to measure this is the magnetic field sensor. The sensor must not only be able to withstand a strong electric field environment, but also have considerable sensitivity and be able to measure the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field.
[0003] Traditional magnetic field measurement generally uses a magnetic field sensor based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. New types of magnetic field sensors mainly include Hall sensors, optical fiber sensors and giant magnetoresistance sensors. Whether it is a traditional...
