A sensor, for measuring current in a conductor, has a stack with at least one isolation layer and at least two metallization layers stacked in a z direction, a first winding of conductive material and a second winding of conductive material, the first and second winding each having first and second parts formed in a metallization layer in the stack and mainly extending respectively in y and z directions and respectively having first and second centers of gravity. The first and second centers of gravity are respectively in first and second planes, wherein the first plane intersects with the second plane in a common intersection line in the second direction. The z direction and the y direction are orthogonal. The sensor has measurer configured to measure current through the first and second winding.

Sensor for measuring current in a conductor

A sensor for measuring current in a conductor has a substrate in the form of a stratified plate having a first metallization layer, a second metallization layer and an isolation layer between the first metallization layer and the second metallization layer, the substrate having a coil that winds along a coil axis parallel to the first metallization layer, having at least one winding. Each winding has a first track in the first metallization layer connected by a via through the first isolation layer to a second track in the second metallization layer, and the substrate has a measurer to measure the current in the coil, and having at least one winding only winding around non-magnetic material.
