A High-Resolution Electric Current Sensor Employing a Piezoelectric Drum Transducer

Abstract: A high-resolution sensor using a piezoelectric drum transducer is proposed for power frequency current sensing (50 Hz or 60 Hz). The utilization of the magnetic circuit helps to enhance the response to the electric currents in the power cords. The high sensitivity of the sensor originates from the superposition of the Ampere forces and the amplified piezoelectric effect of the drum transducer. The feasibility of the sensor was verified by experiments. The device exhibits a broad 3 dB bandwidth of 67.4 Hz witho… Show more

“…Resolution is the smallest change in current that the sensor can feel over the measuring range [17]. If the current varies slowly from a non-zero value, the output of the sensor does not change when the change does not exceed a certain value, that is, the sensor cannot distinguish the change in this input.…”
