Abstract

A magnetic snapback sensor circuit for sensing current transients imposed on the snapback circuit including a current conductor loop; a conductor carrying current from a snapback circuit subject to current transients and intersecting with the conductor loop for magnetically generating a current in the loop; and a current detector circuit for generating an output responsive to the current flowing in the loop induced by a current transient.
