Patent ID: 10901006

Abstract:
The disclosed apparatus relates to an apparatus for sensing current that includes a Rogowski coil assembly and a circuit board. The Rogowski coil assembly has a housing, a slot in the housing configured to receive a conductor through the slot, a Rogowski coil formed within the housing, and a connector. The circuit board has a substantially planar substrate, which has a slot through the substrate configured to receive the Rogowski coil assembly. A complementary connector of the circuit board is configured to receive the connector of the Rogowski coil assembly. The Rogowski coil assembly is positioned through the slot of the substrate, and the complementary connector of the circuit board couples with the connector of the Rogowski coil assembly. In various embodiments, the conductor can be a conductive trace on the substrate of the circuit board, and the Rogowski coil is configured to detect a current through the conductive trace.
