Signal conditioning for Rogowski coil reference design

TIDA-010986

Design files

Overview

This reference design is a signal conditioning reference design for Rogowski coils, targeting enhanced accuracy for current measurement in emeters, circuit breakers, protection relays and electrical vehicle (EV) chargers. This op-amp-based active integrator design covers a wide dynamic current range with bandwidth, stability and adjustable gain (1V/V to 525V/V). The design is optimized for three-phase systems and interfaces with TI's ADS131M08 metrology evaluation module. The design achieves current transformer (CT)-like accuracy at a cost similar to shunt-based designs.

Features
  • Current measurement using Rogowski (di/dt) coil-based current sensor
    • Amplification and integration are accomplished using hardware components (op amps)
    • CT-like performance with 0.2% accuracy at low amplitudes (100mA)
  • Wide current range – 0.1A to > 1000A (tested up to 100A), adjustable through gain settings
  • High performance
    • Theoretical settling time: 30ms
    • Low BOM cost and small PCB footprint
    • Designed to interface directly with ADS131M08 through plug-in form factor
