CURRENT SENSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17946332 titled 'CURRENT SENSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a current sensing apparatus that includes a common mode core surrounding multiple current conductors and a current sensing element near the core.

  • The current sensing apparatus has a common mode core that encloses two or more current conductors.
  • A current sensing element is positioned close to the common mode core to detect the current flowing through the conductors.
  • The design allows for accurate measurement of current while minimizing interference from external sources.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as power distribution, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and industrial automation for monitoring and controlling current flow.

Problems Solved

1. Accurate current measurement in the presence of external interference. 2. Efficient monitoring of multiple current conductors simultaneously.

Benefits

1. Enhanced accuracy in current sensing. 2. Improved reliability in current measurement. 3. Simplified design for current monitoring systems.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Current Sensing Apparatus for Industrial Automation and Power Distribution"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing current sensing technologies such as Hall effect sensors and Rogowski coils that are used for similar purposes.
