  • Arrangement in a current detection circuit
    Patent number: 5432439
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement in a current detection circuit. There is a primary coil for the current to be detected, a separate transformer core which is influenced by the current of the primary coil, a secondary coil conducting a transformed secondary current, as well as a tertiary coil connected to an operational amplifier including a feedback resistor and constituting a current-voltage converter circuit with an input resistance of nearly zero ohms.
