Current sensor with two measurement coils for accurate current measurement
A current sensor patent (Publication Number: US11927607B2) has been granted, detailing a unique design comprising a substrate with multiple layers and vias connecting measurement conductors to form current measurement coils. The sensor includes interleaved first and second current measurement coils progressing in opposite circumferential directions, aligned in radial planes perpendicular to the substrate's surface. Additional features include return coils, compensation conductors, and a twisted-pair arrangement for connecting to a measurement circuit.
Furthermore, the patent describes a variation of the current sensor with additional layers and measurement conductors, forming multiple current measurement coils and return coils interleaved in different radial planes. The design allows for precise current measurement and reduced electrostatic coupling, with compensation conductors progressing in opposite circumferential directions. The sensor's unique configuration and layout on the substrate provide enhanced functionality and accuracy in measuring current passing through a conductor, making it a significant development in the field of current sensing technology.
