Title:
ELECTRIC CURRENT SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/189444
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide an electric current sensor having a structure whereby the electric current sensor is not readily saturated even when the amount of electric current flowing to a bus bar is extremely large. [Solution] An electric current sensor 1 is provided with a bus bar 10 through which flows an electric current to be measured, and a magnetic sensor 20 for detecting a magnetic field generated by the electric current flowing to the bus bar 10. The bus bar 10 includes a bypass bus bar 11 having a cylindrical structure, and a sensing bus bar 12 disposed in a hollow region 13 surrounded by the bypass bus bar 11. The magnetic sensor 20 is disposed in the hollow region 13. Through this configuration, a region of zero magnetic field is formed in the hollow region 13 of the bypass bus bar 11. Therefore, by arranging the sensing bus bar 12 in the region of zero magnetic field, it is possible for the magnetic sensor 20 to measure correctly without becoming saturated even when the electric current flowing to the bus bar 10 is large.
