A current sensor, fora vehicle battery in a vehicle, with an electrical conductor which has a first connection and a second connection for contacting a power circuit of a vehicle. The current sensor includes a first current measurement device and a second current measurement device for measuring the current flowing over the electrical conductor. An evaluation circuit receives measurement values of the first current measurement device and/or the second current measurement device to output a current measurement signal proportional to the current. The first current measurement device utilizes a Hall effect sensor disposed within a constriction with a reduced cross section of the electrical conductor.

Current sensor

A current sensor with an electrical conductor which has a first connection and a second connection for contacting a power circuit of a vehicle, and with a first and a second current measurement device for detecting at least one measurement value for the current flowing over the electrical conductor, and with a first evaluation circuit which is connected to the first and/or the second current measurement device and can receive the measurement values of the first and/or the second current measurement device and output a current measurement signal depending on the measurement values, and with a second evaluation circuit.

An arrangement for controlling the activity of an actuator (AK) of a brake of a motor vehicle has a first path for a first signal (TRIG) relating to the activity of the actuator (AK), a second path for a second signal (TRIG) relating to the activity of the actuator (AK), and a circuit (MOSFET, TRANS, RES, BAT) enabling the actuator (AK) to be activated in such a manner that the actuator (AK) is activated if a determined modification of the first signal (TRIG) and also a determined modification of the second signal (TRIG) is present. The determined modification of the first signal (TRIG) is in the opposite to the determined modification of the second signal (TRIG).
