ABSTRACT:
A current sensor includes first and second branches interconnected by a center conductor magnetically coupled to an annular current comparator for producing an output signal related, in magnitude and phase, to an input current. The input current divides, according to a predetermined relationship, between the first and second branches such that the current in the center conductor interconnecting the first and second branches is also related to the input current. A current is induced in the annular current comparator in relation to the current in the center conductor and, thus, in relation to the input current. Secondary windings are wound about and magnetically coupled to the annular current comparator for producing an output signal responsive to the current induced within the annular current comparator.
