Modelling of a Hall Effect-Based Current Sensor with an Open Core Magnetic Concentrator

Abstract: The present paper deals with the modelling of a Hall effect current sensor with open core magnetic concentrator. 3D magnetic field modelling is carried out using the finite element method (FEM) and Comsol Multiphysics software. Two rectangular core constructions are considered. Different geometric parameters of the magnetic concentrator are varied and their influence on the sensor characteristic is studied, with the aim of reducing the dependence on the output signal on the distance to the conductor. Of the st… Show more

“…Such magnetic sensors, integrated in regular CMOS technology, prove to be cost-effective and offer high performance [2]. The circuit comprises of two Hall Effect based current sensor with an open core magnetic concentrator for good reliability and repeatability [3]. An average value of output from two Hall Effect sensors is taken for Redundancy based plausibility checking as it provides a much higher potential in terms of detection time and precision [4] which is givento a comparator.…”

“…This platform’s approach is based on the Finite Elements Method (FEM) [ 68 , 69 ], and it shares several modules. Several types of micro- and nanoscale devices have been designed with this platform [ 70 , 71 ]. In the specific case of Hall Amplifier [ 71 ], the required simulation models are the AC/DC module, the semiconductors module, and the Heat Transfer module.…”

“…The application of integrated-circuit sensors placed in the air gap of a magnetic core for the measurement of AC and DC voltages, currents, and magnetic flux density in electrical machines is constantly being developed [ 1 , 2 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. For AC and DC currents with a magnetic flux density, contact and contactless measurement, Hall-effect sensors, magnetoresistive current sensors, and coils (e.g., the Rogowski coils are only suitable for AC currents) [ 16 , 17 , 22 , 23 , 24 ] are commonly used. In cases of voltages up to 1 kV, with output separation, both magnetoresistive current sensors and Hall-effect sensors can be used after placing them in the air gap of a ferromagnetic core, and voltage measurement is carried out by using the current to measure magnetic flux in the measuring winding that is wound around the core [ 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

“…Voltage transducers with both closed and open feedback loops are available on the market [ 4 ]. In order to amplify the measured voltage, current, or magnetic field, the Hall-effect sensor is placed in the core air gap [ 2 , 7 , 8 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. The magnetic flux density shape in the core and in the air gap depends on the electric and magnetic properties of the core and on the range of measured frequencies.…”
