A device for measuring electric currents includes multiple current sensors of Rogowski type, each suitable for measuring an electric current flowing through an electrical conductor, these current sensors being in adjacent pairs and each including coils for measuring the current and a central aperture for receiving the corresponding electrical conductor. Each current sensor includes two of the coils, which coils are positioned in parallel and facing one another on opposite edges of the central aperture and two ferromagnetic bars extending between ends of the coils, perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the coils.

The invention relates to a device (200) for measuring a current through a choke (130) of a voltage converter (100) comprising an integrator circuit (140), an amplifier circuit and an NTC resistor (160). The amplifier circuit comprises an inverting and a non-inverting amplifier input connection (152, 154) and an amplifier output connection (156). The non-inverting amplifier input connection (154) is supplied with an amplifier input signal according to an integrator output signal. A voltage signal characterising the current through the choke (130) is applied at the amplifier output connection (156) of the amplifier circuit. The NTC resistor (160) is arranged in the feedback path of the amplifier circuit between the inverting amplifier input connection (152) and the amplifier output connection (156).

A pulse voltage generator calculates a corrected pulse voltage application time. The pulse voltage generator also outputs, for the duration of the corrected pulse voltage application time, a voltage vector closest to a rotor phase from among twelve voltage vectors as a voltage vector command. A current detector detects three-phase output currents of a power converter, which are obtained when first to sixth switching elements of the power converter are turned on or off on the basis of the voltage vector command. A three-phase/two-phase converter converts the three-phase output currents to two-phase output currents to output d-axis current. When the d-axis current after the corrected pulse voltage application time has elapsed becomes less than or equal to a demagnetization determination threshold value, a demagnetization determiner determines that demagnetization occurs in a permanent magnet of a rotor of a motor.
