Abstract
A hybrid current sensor assembly has a conductor, Hall core, Hall sensor, shunt terminal, and a microprocessor. The conductor has a first terminating end and a second terminating end. The Hall core generates a magnetic field from current flow in the conductor. The Hall sensor measures potential difference between first terminating end and the second terminating end of the conductor based on the magnetic field applied to the Hall core. The shunt terminal is positioned on a central portion of the conductor. The microprocessor is connected to the shunt terminal to measure the current flow in the conductor.
