Abstract

A passive current sensor includes a pair of electrically conductive busbars, a shunt resistor electrically connecting the busbars, and a carrier having a first pair of voltage drop measuring contacts. At least one of the voltage drop measuring contacts is attached to each of the busbars and forms a direct electrical contact between the at least one voltage drop measuring contact and the busbar.
