Abstract

The paper shows that the impossibility of breaking the current circuit for the production necessity of temporarily switching on electrical measuring instruments, large power losses on shunts, and the need to obtain quick information about the quality of the functioning of technological processes have led to the widespread use of non-contact conversion and measurement of high direct currents in circuits without breaking them. Light detachable wide-range stationary and portable non-contact transducers and meters of high direct currents are not yet mass-produced. In this regard, it is expedient to develop and study non-contact converters and meters of high direct currents, which are distinguished by a wide range of converted currents, small dimensions and weight, increased accuracy, and sensitivity of electric power facilities. The questions of sensitivity of magneto-modulation non-contact transducers are considered. The expression for the optimal static characteristic of the developed magneto-modulation non-contact transducer is determined and analyzed. Its maximum deviation from the calculated value does not exceed 6%. The expressions for the current, average sensitivity, and sensitivity regarding the magnitude of the excitation of a magneto-modulation non-contact transducer are obtained and investigated. In this case, the maximum sensitivity of the transducer reaches a value of 0.425 with an optimal excitation value of 1.65. It is recommended to take the allowable limit of the input value of the converter to be less than one. Its input value must be taken equal to 0.7. The developed magneto-modulation non-contact transducer has an increased sensitivity due to longitudinal modulation. It can be widely applied in control and management systems in melioration and irrigation, water supply, industry, metallurgy, railway transport, science, technology, GIS technology, and, in particular, digital coverage and database visualization, and as well as for checking electric meters at the place of their installation for non-contact control of direct, as well as alternating currents.
