Abstract

An arrangement for determining a magnitude of an electrical current flowing through a busbar. The arrangement has a measurement conductor which is electrically connected at a first contact point to the busbar and which extends from the first contact point to a second contact point. A third contact point is located on the busbar at a spacing distance from the first contact point. A voltage measurement device is configured to measure a voltage between the second contact point and the third contact point. The arrangement also has a controlled current source which is configured to introduce a measurement current into the measurement conductor.
