The paper provides information on use of direct current (DC) energy in the electric power supply industry of agriculture and water management, hydraulic engineering construction, metallurgy, irrigation and melioration. The need for non-contact non-destructive control of high amperage DCs of high-capacity electrical installations in irrigation and melioration, hydraulic engineering has been identified. The basic requirements for non-contact transducers and sensors of high amperage DC measurements without circuit breaking are formulated. Identified priority directions in the development of above mentioned transducers. The general construction principles of non-contact ferromagnetic transducers of high amperage DCs and the results of the development of one of the modification of the developed wide-range magneto modulation contactless transducers of high amperage DCs and a device based on it are given. It is shown that the developed transducer and device, as distinct from the known ones, have increased accuracy and sensitivity, technological design and small weight and dimensions with low material consumption and cost. The error estimation of the developed magneto modulation non-contact wide-range device for non-destructive control of high amperage currents is carried out and it’s RMS (root-mean-square) and entropy errors are estimated. 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 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.

The paper substantiates the need to use non-contact conversion and measurement of large direct currents using magnetic modulation contactless transducers of increased sensitivity for land reclamation, irrigation, industry, metallurgy and agriculture and water management in general, and 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 low weight and dimensions with low material consumption and cost. Characteristics of information non-contact magnetic modulation converters statically are considered. It is shown that the value of the excitation value corresponds to a certain maximum value of the measured value. In this case, the maxima of the measured value, increasing in value with an increase in the excitation value, are shifted towards the increase in the measured value. The discrepancy between the experimentally and theoretically obtained static characteristics of the converter does not exceed 6 percent. 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 electric meters at their installation site for contactless control of direct and alternating currents.

In communication and communication devices, power equipment, relay protection and automation terminals, in the electric power industry of "smart" cities and homes, in industry, in railway transport, microprocessor-based relay protection and automation devices, distributed generation installations, including renewable energy sources, and electricity storage, as well as "intelligent" automated information and measurement systems are beginning to be used. Contactless converters of direct and alternating currents of control and control systems are widely used in them. Their disadvantages are a narrow range of controlled currents, large dimensions and weight. Therefore, it is important to eliminate them. The paper discusses the general principles of construction of contactless converters of large direct currents, the main requirements for them, and shows the results of the development of one of the options proposed by us, universal contactless magneto-modulation converters of large direct currents with an extended range for various control and control systems. They differ from the known ones by an extended controlled range with small dimensions and weight, and increased accuracy and sensitivity. The converter has a simple and technological design with low material consumption and cost, and can control large direct currents, as well as alternating currents, without contact. The paper considers the errors from external magnetic fields of universal contactless converters of control and control systems. It is shown that the error from the external magnetic field does not exceed 0.08% if the number of sections of the measuring winding is even and with their symmetrical arrangement, and with their even increase-the error decreases. At the same time, the developed contactless converters can be widely used in industry, metallurgy, railway transport, agriculture, water and farming, as well as in the electric power industry of “smart” cities and homes and for checking electric meters at the place of their installation.
