Abstract: A measuring method for measuring currents with a large dynamic range by means of a magnetic measuring module has the steps of switching into a high-current mode when a current threshold value is exceeded, and switching into a low-current mode otherwise, wherein the low-current mode has the following steps:—Feeding a first current pulse to a compensation coil, which drives a magnetic core in a first direction until magnetic saturation occurs,—measuring a first primary current value I1 after the current pulse is disconnected,—feeding a second current pulse to the compensation coil, which drives the magnetic core in a counter second direction until magnetic saturation occurs,—measuring a second primary current value I2 after the second current pulse is disconnected,—determining the corrected primary current value subsequently as an average value I=(I1+I2)/2 from the first and the second primary current values.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a soft magnetic core for generators and generator with a core of this type. To produce a core, a plurality of magnetically activated and/or magnetically activatable textured laminations is produced from a CoFeV alloy. This plurality of laminations is then stacked to form a core assembly. Then the core assembly, if consisting of magnetically activatable laminations, is magnetically activated. Finally, the magnetically activated core assembly is eroded to produce a soft magnetic core. A core of this type is suitable for a generator with a stator and a rotor for high-speed aviation turbines, the laminations in the core assembly being oriented in different texture directions relative to one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to an inductive component (10) whose soft magnetic core (11) is produced by pouring a casting resin into a mold (1a) filled with a soft magnetic alloy powder and by subsequently hardening the casting resin with the alloy powder in order to form a solid soft magnetic core. Contrary to conventional injection molding methods, this technique prevents the surface insulation of the alloy particles from becoming damaged so that the formation of bulk eddy currents in the resulting soft magnetic cores can be prevented to a large extent. This enables a distinct reduction in the electric loss of the inductive component.
