SUMMARY

As a specialist of aeronautic electric distribution, Leach International-Europe intends to master both design and production of the current sensor – a strategic component – while offering a novel technology, freed from important disadvantages of the previous generation. This report puts forward some research directions to replace the present generation, based on the Hall Effect and equipping most of commercial and military aircrafts. Relying on a feasibility study, and after reviewing the state of the art, this work heads quickly on exploiting Faraday’s Law. The latter allows getting a voltage as an output, from the magnetic field generated by the current flowing inside the conductor. The different solutions introduced here are based on analytical calculations, simulations and numerical calculations and allow considering the design of a sensor with an acceptable sensitivity.
