1. A digital sensor apparatus for use with an electric circuit that carries periodic three phase electric current, wherein the electric circuit comprises three conductors each of which carries a separate one of the three phases, the digital sensor apparatus comprising:

  • a current sensing portion coupled to said electric circuit and responsive thereto, said current sensing portion providing an analog output representative of a current parameter sensed in one phase of the electric circuit;

    an analog to digital converter responsive to the analog output from said current sensing portion, and providing a digital data output samples representative thereof; and

    a phasor computing processor coupled to receive the digital data samples from said analog to digital converter and operative to provide a digital data output representative of a phasor of the one phase of the electric circuit.
