Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for the potential-free measurement of current flowing in two primary conductors (13, 14) arranged in parallel in opposite directions of each other, wherein the magnetic differential field is detected by means of a differential field sensor (12). In order to reduce measuring errors, the primary conductors (13, 14) and the differential field sensor (12) are disposed between two metal parts that are configured as shield plates (1, 2) made of a highly permeable material, each having a web (3 or 6). The webs (3, 6) extend on both sides of the arrangement of the primary conductors (13, 14) substantially in the direction thereof parallel to the arrangement. At least one of the shield plates (1, 2) is configured in a U-shape in cross-sectional planes, having one pair of limbs (4, 5; 7, 8) each, which extend at a right angle in a longitudinal direction to the U-shaped cross-sectional planes. The two shield plates (1, 2) are disposed relative to each other such that at least one limp pair (4, 5; 7, 8) of one of the two shield plates (1,2) is aligned toward the other of the two shield plates (1, 2) on one of the two limbs (4, 5; 7, 8) while leaving an air gap (9, 10).
