Summary:This paper deals with the DC current sensor with closed loop and high accuracy, and describes the relationship between the latter and the core material magnetic properties. The coercive field H c, which controls strongly the sensor accuracy, may fluctuate heavily with operating temperature and external stresses as shown in the cases of three different FeNi alloys. Non-coated Fe–80%Ni exhibit low H c ( < 1 A / m ) : this is kept ( H c ⩽ 1.2 A / m ) under strong external stresses (coating) when a low magnetostriction alloy is used. If coating-induced stresses are avoided, a FeNiCr alloy offers an interesting opportunity to get both good accuracy due to low H c ( ⩽ 2 A / m ) and a cheaper solution.
