Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention, which relates to an arrangement for current measurement at a current lead-through, addresses the problem of specifying an arrangement for current measurement by means of which a reliable, galvanically isolated measurement of motor phase currents can be carried out, wherein the space requirement of the arrangement is reduced. This problem is resolved thereby that the sensor is a measuring coil and that the measuring coil is disposed on the lead-through contact such that it is galvanically isolated from the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An arrangement for current measurement at a current lead-through, comprising a planar board in which at least one lead-through contact is disposed, wherein between the planar board and the lead-through contact an electrically insulating casting compound is disposed, a sensor for generating a sensor signal and an amplifier configuration for the amplification of the generated sensor signal, wherein the sensor is a measuring coil and wherein the measuring coil is disposed on the lead-through contact such that the measuring coil is galvanically isolated therefrom. 2. An arrangement as in claim 1 , wherein on the lead-through contact a coil former is disposed on the lead through contact on which several wire windings forming the measuring coil are applied. 3. An arrangement as in claim 1 , wherein on the lead-through contact an annular magnetic support is disposed on the lead through contact around which several wire windings forming the measuring coil are disposed. 4. An arrangement according to as in claim 2 , wherein coil former or the annular magnetic support is disposed tightly on the lead-through contact ( 20 ) using an adhesive or casting compound. 5. An arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the coil former of the measuring coil comprises a synthetic material or Teflon. 6. An arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the annular magnetic support ( 29 ) is comprised of comprises a ferrite or a ferrite alloy with a permeability greater than 300 H*m−1. 7. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein in the planar board a circumferential groove is disposed into which a sealing is placed. 8. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the planar board is disposed on a compressor housing of a refrigerant compressor. 9. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein in the planar board of the current lead-through two or three lead-through contacts are disposed and wherein on each of these lead-through contacts one measuring coil is disposed. 10. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a circuit board is disposed, wherein on this circuit board one or several differential amplifiers are disposed, wherein each of the differential amplifiers is connected at the input side to one measuring coil each, wherein the lead-through contacts are connected to the circuit board for the current supply for the drive motor, and wherein on the circuit board outputs of the arrangement for the current measurement are disposed, each of which is connected to the outputs of the differential amplifiers. 11. An arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the coil former of the measuring coil comprises Teflon. 12. An arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the coil former or the annular magnetic support is disposed tightly on the lead-through contact) using an adhesive or casting compound. 13. An arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the annular magnetic support comprises a ferrite or a ferrite alloy with a permeability greater than 300 H*m−1. 14. An arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein in the planar board a circumferential groove is disposed into which a sealing is placed. 15. An arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein in the planar board a circumferential groove is disposed into which a sealing is placed. 16. An arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the planar board is disposed on a compressor housing of a refrigerant compressor. 17. An arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the planar board is disposed on a compressor housing of a refrigerant compressor. 18. An arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the planar board is disposed on a compressor housing of a refrigerant compressor. 19. An arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the planar board is disposed on a compressor housing of a refrigerant compressor. 20. An arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein in the planar board of the current lead-through two or three lead-through contacts are disposed and wherein on each of these lead-through contacts one measuring coil is disposed.
