Abstract
A current detector includes a plate conductor () that is folded in one portion in a longitudinal direction to have two parts parallel to and facing each other having a predetermined width (w) therebetween, so as to compose a looped current path () in the conductor, and a magneto-electric transducer () that is placed between the two parts of the conductor () so that a magnetic sensing axis is parallel to a width direction of the conductor (), of which a length (a) in a direction of the magnetic sensing axis is smaller than the width (w) of the conductor.
