Most of them are capable of measuring both alternating and direct current (AC\/DC) components. However, they have severe drawbacks for rotating applications (large size, sensitivity to external fields, and low signal amplitude). In addition to these weaknesses, measured signals should be transmitted to a stationary part. In order to contribute solving these difficulties, this paper presents a sensor that can measure AC\/DC simultaneously based on the electromagnetic coupling of two coils. To this aim, the measured waveform is analysed. In this paper, the design of such a sensor is presented. This design is validated through computer simulations and a prototype is built. The performance of this sensor prototype is analysed through experimental tests.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20236811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,29]],"date-time":"2020-11-29T21:00:57Z","timestamp":1606683657000},"page":"6811","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["AC\/DC Current Sensor for Rotating Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7542-7645","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel Angel","family":"Pardo-Vicente","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hydraulic, Energy and Environmental Engineering, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7007-2566","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos A.","family":"Platero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Autom\u00e1tica, Ingenier\u00eda El\u00e9ctrica y Electr\u00f3nica e Inform\u00e1tica Industrial, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2425-5422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 \u00c1ngel","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hydraulic, Energy and Environmental Engineering, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8492-1813","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Bl\u00e1zquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Autom\u00e1tica, Ingenier\u00eda El\u00e9ctrica y Electr\u00f3nica e Inform\u00e1tica Industrial, Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Madrid, 28006 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"354","DOI":"10.1109\/JSEN.2009.2013914","article-title":"Current Sensing Techniques: A Review","volume":"9","author":"Ziegler","year":"2009","journal-title":"IEEE Sens.
