Abstract
A sensing system is provided for contactless sensing of current. The system includes a conductor for generating a magnetic field as electric current flows through the conductor, the conductor having a predetermined width and comprising a hole with a predetermined hole width passing through the whole thickness of the conductor, and a magnetic sensor for measuring at least one component of the magnetic field generated by the conductor. The magnetic sensor overlaps the hole. The current sensing is done based on the measured magnetic field. The sensor is positioned at a predetermined distance over a top surface of the conductor. The width of the hole is at least 0.15 times the width of the conductor.
