This high sensitivity zero-flux detector uses a second wound concentrated in a magnetic circuit and measured in the air core (D’) for noise reduction. A difference between primary and secondary gap using a Hall device. The output from the Hall device is ampere turns creates an asymmetry in the fluxgate current. then signal conditioned to provide an exact representation This difference is detected by a microcontroller that controls the secondary of the primary current at the output. current that compensates the primary ampere turns (IP x NP). This results in a very good accuracy and a very low temperature drift. The secondary compensating current is an exact representation of the primary current. Closed Loop Current Transducers (C/L) Closed Loop Fluxgate (C Type) Features Features • Wide frequency range • Low temperature drift • High accuracy • Measurement of • Good overall accuracy • Excellent linearity • Very wide frequency range differential currents (CD) • Safety isolation (CV) • Fast response time • No insertion losses • Reduced temperature drift • Excellent linearity • Reduced loading on the primary (CV) Operation principle C/L Operation principle I I Isolated Output Current S S +UC -UC +U C Vout +UC Imag -UC 0V I P VH I P +UC -UC IS R I + I M S mag -UC V Isolated Output Voltage out 0V Primary Current I Primary Current I P P The magnetic flux created by the primary current IP is This technology uses two toroidal cores and two balanced by a complementary flux produced by driving secondary windings and operates on a fluxgate principle a current through the secondary windings.

The primary (secondary). resistor (R1) can be incorporated or not in the transducer. The signal is reshaped on the secondary side, then decoded and filtered through a digital filter to feed a micro- controller using a Digital/Analog (D/A) converter and a voltage to current generator. The recovered output signal is completely insulated against the primary and is an exact representation of the primary voltage. * For further information, refer the brochure “Characteristics - Applications -Calculations” or www.lem.com 5 On-Board Applications in different countries with various measurement. electrical railway catenary voltages, Multi winding transformers convert The electrical power is supplied to it
