What is a Rogowski Coil?

Named after the German physicist Walter Rogowski, the Rogowski Coil is an electrical device used for measuring alternating current (AC) such as high speed transient; pulsed currents or power frequency sinusoidal currents.

In its simplest form a Rogowski coil is an evenly wound coil of N turns per metre on a non-magnetic former of constant cross sectional area A. The winding wire is returned to the starting point along the central axis of the former and the two ends are typically connected to a cable. The free end of the coil is normally inserted into a socket adjacent to the cable connection in a way that allows it to be unplugged thus enabling the coil to be looped around the conductor carrying the current to be measured.
