The present invention pertains to the field of current measuring device, and especially relates to a un-
contact type sensor measuring the current by generating the change of the
magnetic field throughthe current based on the Giant
Magnetic Impedance (GMI) effect. Said sensor consists of an array type un-
crystal GMI
current sensor probe heads (1) and (2), a periodic circuit (3), a rectification circuit (4), a subsequent zeroing
amplifier (5) and a digital display unit (6); the array type un-
crystal GMI
current sensor probe heads (1) and (2) are formed by
welding a plurality of quadrate un-
crystal band units (8) with good property of soft
magnetism by the
copper wires arranged in series and the two array type probe heads (1) and (2) which have a same requirement are laid on the two sides ofthe lead (10) for electrifying. The device has a differential type structure of two probe heads, and can amplify the signals and improve the
signal to
noise ratio and the degree of the
linearity of the output curve; the device has a small structure and a high sensitivity and is economical and practical; the device can be used widely in each production and research field for the measuring of the current.
