Abstract
Systems and methods for sensing current utilize a coil-less sensor based circuit to detect current. The current sensing circuit includes a first conductive line segment that carries mains AC current, and a second conductive line segment conductively coupled in electrical parallel to the first line segment. The coil-less sensor is mounted between the two conductive line segments proximate to and generally opposite the second conductive line segment. Any suitable coil-less sensor may be used, including Hall effect sensors, tunneling magneto resistive ('TMR') sensors, anisotropic magneto resistive (“AMR”) sensors, and other types of sensors that do not use coils to sense current. This arrangement results in two magnetic fields being induced that are additive at the coil-less sensor, which allows the sensor to produce a higher output voltage, thereby providing a more accurate current sensor.
