Abstract
An arrangement and a method are used for measuring current flowing in an electrical conductor with a magnetic circuit that has an air gap for coupling to the electrical conductor. The air gap of the magnetic circuit contains a magnetic-field-sensitive component that is used to measure the magnetic field generated by the electrical conductor, wherein, the air gap of the magnetic circuit contains a control core, wherein the control core has a control winding for the magnetic saturation of the control core. In the vicinity of the magnetic-field-sensitive component there are several additional elements that are suitable for conducting interfering magnetic fields in the surroundings of the magnetic-field-sensitive component independent of the control cores.
