Abstract
A current sensor for an apparatus includes a conductor having a slit and at least one Hall effect device inserted at least partially within the slit. The conductor is configured to generate a magnetic field having a pre-determined shape, and the Hall effect device is configured to detect the pre-determined shape and generate an output.
Claims29
A current sensor for an apparatus, said current sensor comprising a conductor comprising a slit and at least one Hall effect device inserted at least partially within said slit, said conductor is configured to generate a magnetic field having a pre-determined shape, said Hall effect device configured to detect said pre-determined shape and generate an output.
A current sensor for an apparatus comprising a slit and at least one Hall effect device inserted at least partially within said slit, said conductor is configured to generate a magnetic field comprising at least a first magnetic field component having a first direction and a second magnetic field component having a second direction different from said first direction, and a pre-determined shape, said Hall effect device configured to detect said pre-determined shape and generate an output.
