Abstract :
This paper introduces the working principle of a high accuracy current comparator. For reducing the error caused by the capacitive leakage current while testing current flows through the secondary winding, the secondary winding is coiled of coaxial cable. Cooperating with well shielding, changing the turns of secondary winding will not bring extra error any more. This paper also presents a new self-calibration method for 1:1 current comparator, it could be applied to multi-ratio current comparator with high accuracy and operation convenience.
