<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small-sized and low power-consuming current sensor that can also accommodate a large current. <P>SOLUTION: A current sensor includes a magnetic detection element 13 detecting a magnetic field to be measured that is generated by a current flowing through a current line 11; a cancellation coil 14 surrounding the magnetic detection element 13; and a cylindrical magnetic core 15 surrounding the cancellation coil 14. The current sensor is configured such that an opening 17 of the cylindrical magnetic core 15 is oriented in the direction of the magnetic field to be measured that is generated by a current flowing through the current line 11. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
