A current sensor comprises an iron-cored transformer whose primary winding (1) is traversed by a current (J) to be sensed, and a secondary winding (3) which is connected across a shunt resistor element (6) provided with selective switching means that is switched to present a resistance value which is such that at currents having differing nominal values, an equal voltage (U) is produced across the resistor element (6). The apparatus can be used for sensing large currents and providing an output to protection or measuring apparatus 12. <IMAGE> |
