  • Patent number: 7304467
    Abstract: Circuit arrangement for simultaneous testing of electricity meters with interconnected current and voltage circuits comprising plurality of said meters having all voltage terminals associated with the same phase connected parallel to respective voltage source and each of the current terminal pairs of the meters connected to the output of individual zero flux current transducer (ZFCT). The inputs (IW) of the zero flux current transducer, the outputs of which are associated with the same phase of individual meters, are connected in series to a respective current source (I). The zero flux current transducer consists of an input winding (IW), an output winding (OW), a sense winding (SW), a drive winding (DW), a sense core (SC), a drive core (DC) and an amplifier (A). The drive winding comprises the drive core only and the input, output and sense windings comprise both sense core and drive core.
