Abstract:
Closed-loop fluxgate sensors are widely used to measure small residual currents flowing in large and noisy common mode currents. Their accuracy and ability to provide high galvanic isolation make them the “preferred choice” for residual current measurement (RCM), but with the penalty of a costly and physically large design. This paper describes an innovative, reduced foot print, closed-loop sensor for residual current measurement in photovoltaic (PV) systems based on Hall technology: the new LDSR.
