3.1 Hardware Requirements

To accurately evaluate the Rogowski coil performance and the associated signal conditioning circuit, the following hardware is required:

  1. Oscilloscope: Used to observe the output waveform from the signal conditioning circuit. A high-bandwidth scope provides accurate capture of fast transients and spike behavior at zero crossings of the Rogowski coil.
  2. USB-C Power Supply (5VDC): Provides stable power to the signal conditioning board. Make sure the power source is clean and isolated to avoid injecting switching noise into the system.
  3. Current Source or Function Generator with Current Injection Capability: A programmable AC or pulsed current source is needed to drive a known current waveform through the Rogowski coil.
  4. Precision Current Measurement Tool (for example, current clamp meter, calibrated current probe): Required for accurate reference measurements of the actual current flowing through the conductor. This allows for comparison against the output of the Rogowski coil to validate amplitude, phase accuracy, linearity, and accuracy.
  5. Load (resistive or actual): Used to create realistic operating conditions and allow the current source to drive current through a known impedance.
