First Claim
1. A measurement module for measuring a current, comprising:
- a pair of input terminals configured to receive input of a current;
current paths connected to the pair of input terminals,a pair of output terminals connected to the current paths and configured to output the current input by the pair of input terminals;
an insulating portion provided along the current paths; and
a magnetic detection element configured to detect a current flowing through the current paths by directly detecting a magnetic field transmitted through the insulating portion from the current paths,wherein the current paths are disposed on one surface of the insulating portion, andthe magnetic detection element is disposed on another surface of the insulating portion.

Abstract
A measurement module includes a pair of input terminals, a pair of current paths connected to the pair of input terminals, and a pair of output terminals. A partition that is a non-magnetic insulating portion partitions an internal space of the measurement module into two spaces. Low-current components such as a magnetic detection element are disposed in a space different from a space in which the pair of current paths are housed. The presence of the partition allows the low-current components and the pair of current paths to be disposed close to one another, thus making it possible to reduce the size of the measurement module.
