Abstract
A current sensor includes, a bus bar through which a current flows, a magnetic detection element detecting a magnetic field intensity generated by the current, first and second shielding plates arranged so as to sandwich the bus bar between the first and second shielding plates, a first conductive plate made of a conductive nonmagnetic material, arranged between the bus bar and the first shielding plate, and a second conductive plate made of the conductive nonmagnetic material, arranged between the bus bar and the second shielding plate, wherein the magnetic detection element is arranged at a first conductive plate-side. A distance between the first conductive plate and the bus bar is longer than a distance between the second conductive plate and the bus bar. The first conductive plate includes a slit formed in the first conductive plate at an overlapping position, and the slit pierces the first conductive plate.
