چکیده
In this paper is presented a novel approach for current measurement using smart materials, magnetic shape memory (MSM) alloys. Their shape change can be controlled by the application of magnetic field or mechanical stress. This gives the possibility to measure currents by correlating the magnetic field produced by the current, shape change in an MSMbased sensor and the voltage output of a Linear Variable Differential Transducer (LVDT) actuated by this shape change. In the first part of the paper is presented a review of existing current measurement sensors by comparing their properties and highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.

متن کاملTrue power factor metering for m-wire systems with distortion, unbalance and direct current components
Two companion papers describe an internally consistent general power theory valid for instantaneous and average power for systems with any number of wires, under conditions of unbalance, distortion or dc components. Measuring apparent power and power factor under non-ideal conditions, even in typical three-phase four wire systems, needs the resistances of the wires, particularly the neutral wir...

Characterizing Magnetic Materials Using Virtual Instrumentation
A virtual instrumentation based scheme is developed for the characterization of magnetic materials. The principle used for measurement is derived from the comparison method of testing instrument transformers. A prototype has been developed by suitably modifying an instrument transformer test set. Characterization of magnetic materials at single frequency and multiple frequencies have been carri...
متن کاملNon-destructive Dp Analysis of Kraft Paper from Shell-type Power Transformers
Rapid, cost-effective, non-destructive diagnosis of power transformer condition is an increasingly important area of asset management – this includes the need to be able to estimate the aged condition of the coil insulation nondestructively. This is necessary to assess the reliability and potential risks presented by transformers in a particular population as well as gauging the prospective lif...
