ABSTRACT:
A current divider having two major current paths and a shunting current path is disclosed. The shunting current path connects the two major current paths at a point on each major current path such that the shunting current path connects points which have slightly different voltage potentials. This slight difference in voltage potentials causes a current to flow in the shunting current path. The current that flows in the shunting current path is a predetermined fraction of the total current and is primarily dependent on the difference in voltage potentials which is a function of the location of the shunting current path. The current that flows in the shunting current path is substantially independent of the ratio of the cross-sectional areas and/or the inverse lengths of the current paths in that for a given cross-sectional area of the shunting current path various values for the current split off may be obtained by varying the location of the shunting current path.
