More Information
Summary:A power harvester having a current transformer configured to be inductively coupled to a current conductor and a circuit for delivering power to a load. The transformer core has two sections joined together and separable from one another at interleaved portions, allowing the transformer to be installed around the current conductor. The circuit includes a rectifier coupled to the transformer and a transistor coupled in series between the rectifier and a load. The transistor receives an output current from the rectifier and provides power to the load. A resistor is coupled to the transistor and the load, and the transistor and resistor provide for limiting of the power to the load over a wide range of the conductor line currents.
