Abstract:
The magnetoresistance based current sensor and sensing method discloses a current sensor based on multilayer GMR elements that  comprise current carrying conductor, multilayer GMR elements connected in full Wheatstbne bridge and bias magnet assembled in an  enclosure. The present invention is capable of implementing current sensing ranges from 1 A to 1000 A with the permissible  dimensions of conductor. The disclosed method allows characteristics conversion of GMR sensor with very less influence of  temperature dependence of the magnetic field bias using closed loop technique which is essential to convert unipolar characteristic  into linear, bipolar characteristics. The present invention also allows the realization of the intrusive current sensor with low insertion  loss. The present invention is simple, compact and commercially viable. This invention is advantageous in a manner for bus bar  current sensor for intrusive sensing in power distribution box and also scaling of power electronics systems with high density.
