I. Pain Points & Challenges
Traditional electromagnetic current transformers (CTs) suffer from inherent limitations like magnetic saturation, narrow bandwidth, and large size, making it difficult to meet the smart grid's demands for high-precision and wide-dynamic-range measurement. Especially under large current surges or complex harmonic operating conditions, accuracy readily degrades, compromising the safety and economic operation of power systems.

II. Core Technological Breakthrough: Multi-Dimensional Accuracy Enhancement Architecture
This solution achieves ±0.1% accuracy class (Class 0.1) across all operating conditions, exceeding IEC 61869 standard requirements, by integrating sensor technology innovations, intelligent compensation algorithms, and optimized digital signal processing.

Key Technological Approaches:

  1. Low-Noise Sensing Layer Innovation

    • High-Linearity Air-Core Coil Design: Employs precision winding techniques and nanocrystalline magnetic cores to reduce high-frequency eddy current losses, ensuring phase error < 0.1&deg; within the 10Hz ~ 5kHz frequency band.

    • Micro-Current Self-Powering Technology: Innovative self-powered circuit design (minimum starting current 0.5A) eliminates external power supply interference, enhancing low-current measurement accuracy.

  2. Dynamic Temperature Compensation System

    • Multi-Sensor Fusion Calibration: Integrates temperature/vibration/electric field sensors to build a real-time environmental parameter matrix, dynamically correcting drift errors via an AI compensation model (LSTM neural network).

  3. Anti-Interference Digital Processing Chain
