ABSTRACT:
An alternating current sensor for measuring a primary alternating current inducing a magnetic flux density defined over a known region comprises: a first sensor for measuring changes in magnetic flux due to the primary current over a first predetermined area included within the known region; a second sensor for measuring changes in magnetic flux due to the primary current over a second predetermined area within the known region, the changes in magnetic flux measured by the second sensor being a predetermined amount different from the changes in magnetic flux measured by the first sensor; and a current source for generating a current inducing changes in magnetic flux over a third predetermined area to offset the difference between the changes in magnetic flux measured by the first sensor and the changes in magnetic flux measured by the second sensor.
