Abstract :
A wide-bandwidth current sensor with extended low-frequency response (practically flat from 10 Hz to 3 MHz) is synthesized using a current transformer and wide-bandwidth operational amplifiers. It can replace an expensive Hall-effect current sensor used in an active power filter. Experimental results confirm the usefulness of the synthesized current sensor
