FLEXIBLE CURRENT SENSOR ARRANGEMENT Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G01R15/18 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to measurement equipment, particularly, to current sensors containing multiple current sensing elements. Flexible current sensor arrangement comprises plurality of discrete current sensing elements distributed along elongate flexible carrier. elongate flexible member for current sensor arrangement comprises plurality of carrying portions linked to one another by hinge portions, wherein each carrying portion being configured for receiving discrete current sensing element. Linking portions are made with possibility to rotate neighboring coils around rotation axis. Wherein linking portions are aligned with longitudinal axis of elongate flexible carrier or shifted relative to longitudinal axis so that neighboring coils rotate around linking portions. Center distance of neighboring coils in at average is kept close to constant value than in case when linking portions are aligned with longitudinal axis. Method of manufacturing flexible current sensor arrangement comprises stages providing elongate flexible carrier and distributing plurality of discrete sensing elements along elongate flexible carrier.

EFFECT: technical result is the improvement of accuracy of measurements.
