APPARATUS FOR MEASURE OF QUANTITY AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF MANUFACTURING

An integrated device provides a measure of a quantity dependent on current through an electrical conductor, having: a sensing and processing sub-system; an electrical conductor conducting current; an insulating material encapsulates the sensing and processing sub-system and maintains the electrical conductor in a fixed and spaced relationship to the sensing and processing sub-system. The insulating material insulates the electrical conductor from the sensing and processing sub-system. Sensing and processing sub-system sensing circuitry includes magnetic field sensing elements adjacent the electrical conductor. The sensing circuitry provides a measure of the quantity as a weighted sum and/or difference of magnetic field sensing elements outputs caused by current through the electrical conductor adjacent the magnetic field sensing elements. A voltage sensing input senses a measure of voltage associated with the current conductor. Sensing and processing sub-system output circuitry provides an output measure of the quantity from the sensed measure of current and voltage.

Current measurement

A measurement circuit is arranged to make several measurements, either at different times or in respect of different frequency components of currents measured by current sensors in respective phases of a multiphase supply system. The measurements are then used to correct for discrepancies in the transfer function of the sensors.
