Abstract
A current sensing device and method of manufacturing a sensing device are disclosed. The current sensing device can include at least two current sensors, implemented in an openable ring-shaped support, and wherein the at least two current sensors can be arranged in a chain-like arrangement on the ring-shaped support, and wherein the at least two current sensors are electrically connected in series.
Claims15
A current sensing device, comprising:
- more than two current sensors, implemented in an openable ring-shaped support, and wherein the more than two current sensors are arranged in a chain-like arrangement in the ring-shaped support, and wherein the more than two current sensors are electrically connected in series;
- and
- the ring-shaped support is divided into two half-ring-elements, each of the half-ring-elements being non-flexible and rigid and are mechanically connected by a hinge with a rotary pin, and that an electrical continuous interconnection between a first group of current sensors in a first half-ring element and a second group of current sensors in a second half-ring element is provided by interconnection wires, which are dimensioned in length such that the interconnection wires release a reservoir length of the interconnection wires during the opening of the current sensor device ring via the hinge, wherein the interconnection wires are disposed within the half-ring-elements when the hinge is closed, the interconnection wires thereby being protected by the half-ring-elements.
