Title: Temperature compensated and self-calibrated current sensor using reference magnetic field

Patent ·
OSTI ID:918062

A method is described to provide temperature compensation and self-calibration of a current sensor based on a plurality of magnetic field sensors positioned around a current carrying conductor. A reference magnetic field generated within the current sensor housing is detected by the magnetic field sensors and is used to correct variations in the output signal due to temperature variations and aging.
