Provided is a current detection circuit which can reduce the resistance loss for a current transformer, meeting the requirements for size and cost thereof. The current detection circuit includes a current transformer and a capacitor connected across a secondary winding of the current transformer, the capacitor making a phase adjustment such that the primary side current flowing through the primary winding of the current transformer and the voltage across the capacitor are in phase with each other. With this configuration, the primary side current can be detected as the voltage across the capacitor with no need for using a matching resistor, with which, if the winding ratio of the current transformer is small, the resistance loss will be large, whereby a current detection circuit of low loss using a current transformer which is small in size and low in cost can be configured. |
