Current measuring device

Abstract

A current measuring device has a current conductor and a differential magnetic field sensor. The differential magnetic field sensor has a connection frame and two sensor elements, wherein the sensor elements are arranged such in relation to an edge of a straight section of the current conductor, which is parallel to a direction of current flow through the current conductor, that one of the sensor elements overlaps the current conductor in a plan view of the current conductor and the other of the sensor elements does not overlap the current conductor in a plan view of the current conductor. The current measuring device further has a device for reducing distortions which are generated in an output signal of the differential magnetic field sensor due to eddy currents in the connection frame of the magnetic field sensor.
