Claim 5:
6. An electric load control method of determining a current supplied to an electrical load by a load control device that includes load regulation circuitry operatively coupled to electric load controller control circuitry, the method comprising:
causing, by the electric load controller control circuitry, the load regulation circuitry to reversibly transition a controllably conductive device between a conductive state and a non-conductive state to control the power delivered to an electric load device;
receiving, by the electric load controller control circuitry from a sense circuit, a load current feedback signal indicative of an average load current provided to the electric load device, the average load current feedback signal using a first voltage sense output signal generated by a coil inductively coupled to a secondary winding of a transformer included in the load regulation circuitry;
receiving, by the electric load controller control circuitry from the sense circuit,
a load voltage feedback signal based on the first voltage sense output signal generated by the coil inductively coupled to the secondary coil of the transformer disposed in the load regulation circuitry;
determining, by the electric load controller control circuitry, a first load current using the received load current feedback signal; and
determining, by the electric load controller control circuitry, a second load current using the received load voltage feedback signal.
