Abstract: A current-sensing resistor for measuring a current with two connection parts for introducing and discharging the current to be measured includes a resistor element made of a resistor material, a first voltage measurement contact at the first connection part for measuring the voltage at the first connection part, a second voltage measurement contact at the second connection part for voltage measurement at the second connection part, and a cut in the second connection part, the cut surrounding the second voltage measurement contact and preventing current flow across the cut. The resistor also includes a third voltage measurement contact arranged at the second connection part for measuring the voltage at the second connection part, and that the third voltage measurement contact is arranged at the second connection part offset with respect to the main current flow direction transversely to the second voltage measurement contact at the second connection part.
