It can be widely used in power systems in irrigation and melioration, in water supply system, industry, railway transport, science, technology and for testing power meters at their installation site for contactless control of DC and also ACs (alternative currents).

The paper provides information on the state of the use of direct current energy in the electric power industry of agriculture and water resource, hydraulic engineering, industry and metallurgy, irrigation, and land reclamation. Identified the need for contactless non-destructive testing of large constant currents in high-power electrical installations in irrigation, land reclamation, and hydraulic engineering. The basic requirements for contactless transducers and meters of large direct currents in circuits without breaking them are shown. Identified priority areas in the development of these transducers. The general principles of constructing contactless ferromagnetic transducers of large direct currents also the basic requirements for them and the results of the development of one of the options for the development of effective innovative galvano-magnetic contactless transducers of large direct currents with an expanded range of monitoring and control systems for powerful pumping stations in water supply and land reclamation are presented. To increase the sensitivity of galvanomagnetic contactless transducers of large direct currents, Hall transducers have supplied with short-term rectangular current pulses from a special generator. When measuring the amplitude values of the rectified current, in this case of galvanomagnetic contactless transducers, the supply of pulses of the control current of the Hall transducers with the converted current in the bus synchronization is provided. This is achieved by supplying galvano-magnetic contactless transducers of large direct currents with a magnetically controlled contact located near the bus with the converted current and included in the circuit of the current electrodes of the Hall transducers. A static characteristic of the developed galvano-magnetic contactless transducer of high currents obtained and its main technical characteristics and parameters are given. It is shown that the developed transducer, unlike the known ones, has increased accuracy and sensitivity, a technological design, and low weight and dimensions at low material consumption and cost. It can be widely used in electrical systems in land reclamation and irrigation, in water supply, industry, rail transport, science, technology, and for checking electric meters at the installation site.

The paper substantiates the need to use non-contact conversion and measurement of large direct currents using non-destructive magneto modulation non-contact ferromagnetic transducers of increased sensitivity for the needs of land reclamation, irrigation, industry, metallurgy and, in general, agriculture and water management; the results of their design development are presented. It is shown that the developed converter, in contrast to the known ones, has increased accuracy and sensitivity, a technologically advanced design and small weight and dimensions with low material consumption and cost. The issues of reliability of magnetic modulation contactless converters are considered. The results of their research have been obtained. It is shown that the reliability of wide-range magneto modulation contactless converters of large direct currents is equal to 0.998 and taking into account catastrophic failures, their total reliability is 0.9969. The developed converter can be widely used in electrical systems in land reclamation and irrigation, in water supply, industry, railway transport, science, technology and for checking electrical meters at their installation site.
