  • Patent number: 11693035
    Abstract: A current sense system may include a relay, a load conductor, and an integrator sub-circuit. Current may be provided to an electrical load via the load conductor and a latch of the relay. The current carried via the load conductor may induce a sense voltage in a coil of the relay. Based on the sense voltage induced in the relay coil, the integrator sub-circuit may determine a load sense voltage that indicates a level of the current carried via the load conductor. In some implementations, a current indication module may provide an indicator signal based on the load sense voltage. In addition, the indicator signal may be provided to additional components or devices, such as a relay controller configured to activate the latch. In some implementations, the relay controller may be configured to open the latch based on the current level described by the indicator signal.
