Practical Adaptation of a Low-Cost Voltage Transducer with an Open Feedback Loop for Precise Measurement of Distorted Voltages

This paper presents the project proposal of a low-cost transducer with a Hall-effect sensor placed in a ferromagnetic core’s air gap, which enables the measurement of the distorted voltage instantaneous values without the feedback loop used for measurements in electrical machines. The presented transducer allows for electrical separation between the measured voltage and the voltage at the output. Moreover, the influences of frequency, additional resistance, and the reactance of the winding circuit on the voltage phase shift caused by winding inductance with ferrite core and amplitude are discussed. The result of simulating leakage inductance of measuring winding with ferrite core with an air gap is calculated using finite element analysis. Experimental investigations of the voltage phase shift angle and output voltage amplitude drop for the voltage transducers with an open feedback loop are carried out, taking into account the linear core magnetization characteristic.
