description As one of the important parameters characterizing the cable’s operation status, an accurate measurement of the current is particularly important for the cable’s reliable operation and status monitoring. Aiming at the problem that the sum of the current phasors of multiphase cables is 0 when running in a steady state, and that the traditional mutual inductance current measurement method cannot be used for the phase current measurement of such cables, or that the insulation layer needs to be damaged, this paper proposes a non-contact measurement method of three-phase cable current, based on the magnetic field decoupling calculation. When combined with the actual parameters of the three-phase cable, the analytical calculation model of the magnetic field distribution of the three-phase cable is established. The relationship between the output ratio of the sensor and the deflection angle is obtained through theoretical derivation, the magnetic field coupling coefficient matrix is determined, and the transfer relationship between the output of the magnetic sensor and the current of each phase is clarified; an array magnetic field sensor is designed, which can sense the information of the adjacent magnetic field independently and is used for the reconstruction of three-phase currents. The effectiveness of the proposed method was tested on the built three-phase four-core cable current measurement test platform. The experimental results show that under the three-phase current balance, the measurement error of phase A, phase B and phase C is less than 2.8%, and the waveform and phase angle of the three-phase current can be well restored, which verifies the three-phase current measurement method proposed in this paper.
