ABSTRACT:
Integrated current sensors are used in DC electric power systems. An integrated current sensor (200B) according to one embodiment comprises: a DC inductor (111B) including a resistive component and an inductive component, wherein a DC current passes through the DC inductor (111B); an integrator circuit (161), the integrator circuit (161) receiving a voltage associated with the DC inductor (111B); and a feedback system operationally connected to the DC inductor (111B) and to the integrator circuit (161), to subtract a voltage associated with the resistive component and obtain a voltage associated with the inductive component.
