CURRENT DETECTION METHOD AND CURRENT DETECTION STRUCTURE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A current detection method, using a current detection structure comprising:
- a bus bar to be measured through which a current to be measured flows;
at least one element that detects a magnetic field generated by the current of the bus bar to be measured; and
a first proximity bus bar and a second proximity bus bar disposed at positions where the first proximity bus bar and the second proximity bus bar face each other with the bus bar to be measured interposed therebetween,the current detection method includingsetting arrangements of the first proximity bus bar and the second proximity bus bar relative to the element and directions and magnitude of currents flowing through the first proximity bus bar and the second proximity bus bar, such that magnitude of magnetic fields at the position of the element generated by the first proximity bus bar and the second proximity bus bar are the same and directions thereof are reversed.

Abstract
A current detection structure comprises, a bus bar to be measured through which a current to be measured flows; an element that detects a magnetic field; and a first proximity bus bar and a second proximity bus bar, wherein arrangements of the first proximity bus bar and the second proximity bus bar relative to the element and the directions and magnitude of currents flowing through the first proximity bus bar and the second proximity bus bar are set such that the magnitude of magnetic fields at the position of the element generated by the first proximity bus bar and the second proximity bus bar are the same and directions thereof are reversed.
