  • Publication number: 20210405093
    Abstract: The present invention provides a careless contactless current measurement system comprising a conductive means through which a current can flow and a current sensor for calculating information about the current flowing through the conductive means, wherein: a relative position between at least a part of the conductive means and at least a part of the current sensor is fixed; the current sensor obtains a magnetic flux generated by the current flowing through the conductive means and transmitted through a nonmagnetic material, and outputs information about the current flowing through the conductive means in a wired or wireless manner Because such characteristics change only the shape of the conductive means around the magnetic flux measuring means without using a magnetic core, the amount of a magnetic flux passing through the magnetic flux measuring means is increased, thereby improving a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the magnetic flux measuring means.
