Abstract
The invention relates to a method and current measuring arrangement for measuring electric current flowing in an individual electrode in an electrolysis system. The electrolysis system comprises a plurality of interleaved electrodes (), cathodes () and anodes (), arranged in an electrolysis cell () and immersed in electrolyte, said electrolysis system having a busbar () disposed on a separating cell wall () between each of the two adjacent cells to conduct electric current to the electrodes via a contact point () between the busbar and a hanger bar () of the electrode, and the current sensing arrangement comprises a magnetic field sensing means () for measuring the magnetic field induced by said current. The magnetic field sensing means () are arranged to sense the magnetic field substantially at the level of the contact point ().
