Figure 9-6 shows the OPA2182 configured as an active integrator, level shifter and precision voltage reference buffer for a Rogowski coil used to indirectly measure the current of a protection relay with high accuracy. This design has two main signal paths: the first path is used to accurately measure the current flowing through the Rogowski coil, and a second high-speed path is used to detect a fast transient such as a short circuit. The OPA2182 is selected for this application thanks to the low offset voltage (0.45 µV) and offset drift (0.003 µV/°C) that minimize calibration requirements and maintain higher accuracy across the full temperature range. This device also features flat noise across a wide frequency range which includes dc which improves accuracy and repeatability across a wide range of input currents from the Rogowski coil. Additional information on this design can be found in the Active Integrator for Rogowski Coil Reference Design with Improved Accuracy for Relay and Breaker.
