ABSTRACT:
Imbalances between currents to and from a remote point are detected by passing the outgoing currents and the return current through different, oppositely-oriented coils on a saturable core, and an excitation current is applied to another coil in the same core sufficient to drive the core into saturation in at least one direction. When the outgoing and return currents are the same, the excitation produces successive voltage pulses of the same durations, as measured by an up-down counter; if an imbalance is present, the remainder in the up-down counter shows this. To detect excessively high imbalances, which might place the core always in saturation, another counter preferably senses the sum of the widths of successive pulses, and indicates an imbalance if this sum falls below a preselected threshold.
