Abstract: A current detector circuit, preferably for use in telephone equipment, to detect the on-hook and off-hook conditions of of such equipment, includes two equal transformers which have primary coils mounted in series and secondary coils mounted in series opposition, but in series with a circuit within which it is desired to detect the current. The primary coils constitute the load of the collector of an NPN transistor. Such collector is connected by means of a resistor to the base of a PNP transistor.
