A current sensor has a closed loop magnetic flux concentrating ferromagnetic core with a gap and a central aperture for receiving a conductor. A Hall generator is positioned in the gap and a secondary winding is positioned on a portion of the core. Current flow in the conductor creates magnetic flux in the core which energizes the secondary winding to provide a power output. Magnetic flux concentrated in the gap causes the Hall generator to output a sensing signal that is proportional to the magnetic flux which is proportional to the current flow in the conductor. The single core is used to simultaneously produce a sensing signal proportional to alternating or direct current flow in the conductor.
