Magnetic Sensor-Based Switching Cabinet Busbar Current Measurement Method.

Traditional switchgear current measurement techniques use closed-loop current modules to accurately measure and control current, and in switchgear, there is also interphase interference, these modules usually require a large core that surrounds the entire busbar as well as a shielded shell, because the compensation current generated inside the module is proportional to the busbar current, so the power consumption can be as high as several watts. In view of this, this paper proposes a magnetic sensor-based switch cabinet busbar current measurement method, and through theoretical deduction, it is determined that the magnetic sensor with two magnetic sensitive directions opposite and vertically placed in the busbar can eliminate the interference from the busbar phase and the stray field. Through simulation analysis, it was determined that the opening hole of the switch cabinet bus row was a circular hole, and the placement of the two magnetic sensors was at the edge of the circular hole, so that the practical application of the method in the switch cabinet had certain guiding significance.
