Abstract
A current detection device, a power supply system and a method for detecting electric current is disclosed as including an electric conductor which has first, second and third conductor components extending from a diverging point O in three orientations with a given angle with respect to one another, first and second magnet-electric transducer elements located at both sides of the first conductor component in positions equally spaced from the first conductor component and in the vicinity of the diverging point, and a calculation processor circuit responsive to a differential value between first and second electric signals produced by the first and second transducer elements for thereby detecting electric current flowing through the first conductor component.
