Rogowski coils represent an easy to use alternative technology to solid- and split-core CTs.
Rogowski coils are best suited in applications without high harmonics. Typically,
Rogowski use would be discouraged in applications with Variable Frequency Drives, DC converters like those used in solar, and lighting (LED, CFC) applications.
The following represent the best practices and requirements to deploy a
Rogowski coil:
- Confirm the load does not contain high levels of harmonics
- Confirm the meter can interpret Rogwoski data
- Coils should not be bent further than their natural shape or wrapped multiple times around a cable to prevent permanent damage and loss of accuracy.
- For maximum accuracy the measured cable should be at the center of the Rogwoski coil
