FLEXIBLE CURRENT SENSOR

摘要

Apparatus and methods for measuring current flowing through a conductor include a device comprised of a magnetically conductive loop having a plurality of strands and a magnetic field sensor. Each strand has a magnetically conductive material. The strands are configured to pass a magnetic field to a first magnetic field sensor that is positioned adjacent to an end of the first plurality of strands. The plurality of strands may be arranged in various patterns that allow the magnetically conductive loop to be more bendable or flexible than a current-clamp device.
