Abstract: An electrical assembly comprising a DC circuit and a current measuring apparatus for measuring a current intensity of the DC circuit. The DC circuit having a DC source, a positive line and a negative line, the positive line being electrically connected to a positive pole of the DC source and the negative line being electrically connected to a negative pole of the DC source. The current measuring apparatus comprising a measuring element, the positive line and the negative line running parallel to one another at least in a measurement region and the measuring element being arranged in the measurement region, the measuring element being designed in such a manner that it measures a current on the basis of the anisotropic magnetoresistive effect during current flow.
