  • Patent number: 11029371
    Abstract: The present invention provides a triaxial magnetism detecting apparatus having a high mechanical strength and being compact in size by simplifying the arrangement configuration of magnetism detectors for the reduction of the number of components and allowing easy angular adjustment of the magnetism detectors and easy installation of the magnetism detectors on the apparatus body, and a satellite. A triaxial magnetism detecting apparatus has a power supply board, a circuit board, and a magnetism detecting unit, which are fixed on a body, and the circuit board and the magnetism detecting unit are horizontally connected. By using the magnetism detecting unit, the triaxial magnetism detecting apparatus detects magnitudes of magnetic fields in mutually perpendicular X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions.

  • Patent number: 9746497
    Abstract: When a through hole is formed in a primary conductor, a measurement target current partially becomes a bypass current that flows around the through hole. Only a magnetic field component in the X-axis direction is generated from the current that flows through a portion without the influence of the through hole. However, the bypass current generates a magnetic field component in the Y-axis direction at the tilt portion. A magnetic detection element having a magnetic field detection sensitivity only in the Y-axis direction is installed near the through hole such that the magnetic field detection direction is set in the Y-axis direction, thereby detecting the magnetic field component and measuring the current amount without the influence of a neighboring current.

  • Patent number: 9651583
    Abstract: A measurement module includes a pair of input terminals, a pair of current paths connected to the pair of input terminals, and a pair of output terminals. A partition that is a non-magnetic insulating portion partitions an internal space of the measurement module into two spaces. Low-current components such as a magnetic detection element are disposed in a space different from a space in which the pair of current paths are housed. The presence of the partition allows the low-current components and the pair of current paths to be disposed close to one another, thus making it possible to reduce the size of the measurement module.

  • Patent number: 6642705
    Abstract: An electric current sensor which includes a pair of magnetic detectors arranged near a signal line, flowing through which is an electric current to be detected. Additionally, a differential amplifier is included for differentially amplifying two signals obtained by the paired magnetic detectors, detecting a magnetic field from the electric current flowing through the signal line, and outputting a detection signal for the detected electric current. The paired magnetic detectors are arranged adjacent to each other along a first straight line and sandwiching between them a second straight line. The first straight line is perpendicular to but spaced from the signal line, and the second straight line crosses perpendicularly to both the first straight line and the signal line. The paired magnetic detectors have the same magnetic field detecting direction, which may be parallel or inclined relative to the second straight line.
