| 摘要 |
It is an object of the invention to provide a current sensor apparatus that reduces measurement errors resulting from variations in a position of a current path passing through the space inside a magnetic yoke. The current sensor apparatus comprises a ring-shaped magnetic yoke (2) surrounding a current path (1), part of the yoke having a gap (3), and a magnetic sensor element (4) placed in the gap (3) of the magnetic yoke (2). The magnetic sensor element (4) detects a magnetic field in the gap (3) generated by a current flowing through the current path (1) to measure the current flowing through the current path (1). The current sensor apparatus further comprises a magnetic field interrupter (5), placed between the current path (1) and the gap (3), for interrupting a magnetic field corresponding to a magnetic flux generated by the current passing through the current path (1) and not passing through the magnetic yoke (2), so that the magnetic field would not reach the magnetic sensor element (4).
