Working principle of high precision fluxgate current sensor:

Under the action of positive and negative excitation current, the easy-to-saturation magnetic core is used to make the inductance of the magnetic core change with the magnitude of the excitation current, so that the magnetic flux of the magnetic core changes continuously.

The fluxgate current sensor uses the non-linear relationship between the magnetic induction intensity and the magnetic field intensity of the high magnetic permeability core in the measured magnetic field under the saturation excitation of the alternating magnetic field to measure the weak magnetic field. This physical phenomenon seems to be a “gate” to the measured ambient magnetic field. Through this “gate”, the corresponding magnetic flux is modulated and an induced electromotive force is generated. This phenomenon is used to measure the magnetic field generated by the current, so as to indirectly achieve the purpose of measuring the current.
