Abstract
Utilizing hybrid materials in a current sensing transformer with primary to secondary coil ratios greater than one is possible and practical. The ease of manufacture associated with this method allows almost any inductor of any size to be converted into a current sensing transformer without significantly increasing the size, cost, or time of manufacture or affecting the performance of the inductor itself. The result is low-cost, high-performance AC and DC current sense components.
