An apparatus for measuring varying current levels is particularly suited to the measurement of distinct current pulses. The apparatus couples by means of an inductive sensor to a current carrying conductor. A current pulse in the conductor induces a voltage within the sensor, which is then converted by a unipolar voltage to frequency converter to a sequence of electrical pulses, the total number of which is proportionate to the peak current value of the pulse. The number of pulses produced may be displayed as a measurement of the peak current pulse; in a preferred embodiment, the apparatus compares the number of pulses to a pre-set alarm value, enabling the apparatus to signal any occurrence of current pulses over a desired value.
