Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3176797A1] A manufacturing method of a current transformer core includes: the step of providing a core element formed by winding or layering a Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon whose thickness is not more than 15 µm and which can be converted into nanocrystals; a longitudinal-field heat treatment step which includes performing a heat treatment on the core element in the presence of a magnetic field of not less than 100 A/m applied in a magnetic path direction of the core element, thereby forming a core; and a transverse-field heat treatment step which includes, after the longitudinal-field heat treatment step, performing a heat treatment on the core in the presence of a magnetic field applied in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic path direction of the core, thereby forming a core. µr(25) is adjusted by the transverse-field heat treatment step to a value between 0.4×µr(max)(25) and 0.9×µr(max)(25) where µr(max)(T) is µr(T) achieved by the longitudinal-field heat treatment step, and µr(T) is an amplitude magnetic permeability of the core measured at a temperature T (°C) in the presence of an AC magnetic field of frequency f=50 Hz and amplitude H=1.0 A/m.
