Abstract

Toroidal fluxgate current transducer comprising a ring shaped fluxgate sensing unit (6) comprising a ring-shaped support (40), a saturable magnetic core (38) mounted on the support (40), an excitation coil (44) wound around the support and saturable core and a magnetic shell (32) mounted around the excitation coil, ring-shaped support and saturable core. The support is ringed-shape and comprises terminals (50,48) fixed to the support, a first pair of said terminals connected to ends of the excitation coil, and a second pair of said terminals connected to ends of a secondary coil of the current transducer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to toroidal fluxgate current transducers with secondary coils for closed loop applications. Background technique [0002] A fluxgate transducer has a saturable magnetic core surrounded by an excitation coil that applies an alternating magnetic field that alternately saturates the core. In the presence of an external magnetic field, a bias voltage is applied to the saturation of the saturable core such that the symmetry of the excitation signal is achieved. This asymmetry is related to the magnitude of the external magnetic field and is therefore used to read the magnitude of the external magnetic field. In a magnetometer, the excitation current is processed by an electronic circuit that feeds a secondary coil (also known as a compensating coil) wound around the fluxgate transducer or to a magnetic circuit coupled to the fluxgate transducer. Generate a feedback signal. The compensating current seeks to cancel the effect ...
