A planar magnetic current sensor is described, incorporating a number of features designed to improve the efficiency and reliability of the basic sensor. The improvements comprise providing inner and outer conductive shields, an increased number of sensor elements for a given circuit board area, and distributing the resistance of the sensor circuitry. The conductive shields prevent high transient voltages and eddy currents that may damage the sensor itself. The depth of the inner and outer conductive shields is chosen to produce eddy currents sufficient to attenuate the magnetic fields associated with transient pulses of a frequency above the frequencies to be measured. An aperture is provided from the exterior of the conductive shields or sealing caps, if present, to an annular space, to allow an output signal to pass from the interior of the sensor to the exterior of the sensor for monitoring. |
