Abstract: Rogowski coils are increasingly used for measurement
of AC and transient electric currents. Mostly used Rogowski coils
now are with circular or rectangular cores. In order to increase the
sensitivity of the measurement of Rogowski coil and perform smooth
wire winding, this paper studies the effect of increasing the mutual
inductance in order to increase the coil sensitivity by presenting the
calculation and simulation of a Rogowski coil with equilateral
hexagonal shaped core and comparing the resulted mutual inductance
with commonly used core shapes.
