DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The present invention relates to a novel current transformer secondary current amplification circuit, as Figures 1-4As shown, it includes a sampling circuit, an equivalent circuit of a mutual inductor, a zero-load mutual inductor amplification circuit, a secondary current signal amplification circuit of the mutual inductor, an equivalent circuit of the secondary current signal of the mutual inductor, and an equivalent circuit in the form of a single operational amplifier. The sampling circuit is composed of a current mutual inductor and a sampling resistor. A sampling resistor is fixedly connected in parallel at the output end of the current mutual inductor. The equivalent circuit of the mutual inductor is composed of a mutual inductor, an ideal transformer, a sampling resistor, and a secondary coil. An ideal transformer is fixedly connected in parallel at the output end of the mutual inductor. A secondary coil is fixedly connected in series at the output end of the ideal transformer. A sampling resistor is connected in parallel at the output end of the secondary coil.

[0015] Furthermore, in the equivalent circuit of the mutual inductor, the exciting reactance of the mutual inductor is L’, the internal resistance of the secondary coil is R’, T’ is an ideal transformer, and L’ uses a larger magnetic core cross-sectional area or a material with high magnetic permeability or thicker wire.

[0016] Furthermore, the equivalent circuit of the mutual inductor uses the virtual short principle to reduce the output load Rs of the mutual inductor to nearly 0, and at the same time, a sampling resistor Rs is connected in parallel to form a zero-load circuit.

[0017] Furthermore, the secondary current signal amplification circuit of the mutual inductor includes Op1, Op2 and feedback resistors. The output Vo is the same as that of the zero-load mutual inductor amplification circuit, Vo = -Is * Rs, where Rs is the sampling resistor and Is is the secondary output current of the mutual inductor, which is proportional to the primary input current of the mutual inductor.

[0018] Furthermore, the equivalent circuit of the secondary current signal of the current mutual inductor is formed by replacing T in the secondary current signal amplification circuit of the current mutual inductor with an equivalent circuit composed of an ideal mutual inductor T’ and L, R’.

[0019] Furthermore, the equivalent circuit in the form of a single amplifier forms the equivalent circuit of the single operational amplifier circuit by substituting the equivalent circuit of the current mutual inductor into the single operational amplifier circuit. At this time, the ideal transformer T’ and the ideal inductor L’ are disconnected from the circuit, making the equivalent circuit in the form of a single amplifier become an amplification circuit, where point a is the input and point b is the output. If Rg / Rs’ = R’ / Rs, the gain of the circuit is 1, that is, the potential at point a is equal to the potential at point b. After substituting the ideal transformer T’ and the ideal inductor L’, since the voltage of a - b is always 0.

[0020] When in use, as shown in the form of a single operational amplifier, the single operational amplifier method is adopted, and the output signal can be taken from Vo or Vo’. At the same time, it is also necessary to satisfy Rg / Rs’ ≤ R’ / Rs to ensure the normal operation of the circuit.

[0021] The equivalent circuit in the form of a single amplifier substitutes the equivalent circuit of the current mutual inductor into the operational amplifier form, and the equivalent circuit of the operational amplifier form can be obtained. Temporarily disconnect the ideal transformer T’ and the ideal inductor L’ from the circuit. Figure 6It becomes an amplifier circuit, where point a is the input and point b is the output. If Rg / Rs’ = R’ / Rs, the gain of the circuit is 1, that is, the potential at point a is equal to the potential at point b. After substituting the ideal transformer T’ and the ideal inductor L’, since the voltage across a-b is always 0, the voltage drops of the internal resistance and the sampling resistance are compensated.

[0022] It can be understood that the present invention is described through some embodiments. Those skilled in the art know that without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, various changes or equivalent replacements can be made to these features and embodiments. Additionally, under the teaching of the present invention, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application belong to the scope protected by the present invention.
