I have wound up a gang of torodial rogowski coils when I was doing the Water
arc explosion work. I would just wind away on a piece of 3/8" tygon tubing
with # 30 Kynar insulated wire and shunt the whole winding with a .1 ohm
carbon resistor. (this is the classsic old method) The modern method is to
integrate the output of a much lighter coil.
Most of the work I was doing was with 300KHZ damped wave pulses. so a
self-resonant 3 mhz rogowski just put some trash on the first rising or
falling edge in the storage scope waveforms.
I hade to calibrate on the fly with a known current setup in the circuit for
which I was expecting to measure. They worked great. Wideband, but non-linear.
I got tired of doing this for every new iteration of circuit so parted with
$900.00 and got a Pearson. They be folks with the plan and wideband. The
thing is dead linear from .02Hz to 2.5mhz and just as passive a component as
a lead pipe. How dey do dat!? (Answer- years in the biz and they won't
even discuss the methodolgy with you!!!!!)
