Claim:
1. A method of measuring electric current flowing in an individual electrode in an electrolysis system comprising a plurality of interleaved electrodes, cathode electrodes and anode electrodes, arranged in an electrolysis cell and immersed in electrolyte, said electrolysis system having a busbar disposed on a separating cell wall between each of two adjacent cells to conduct electric current to the electrodes via a contact point between the busbar and a hanger bar of the electrode, and in which method the electric current of each electrode is measured by measuring the magnetic field induced by said current, wherein the magnetic field is sensed substantially at the level of the contact point, wherein the magnetic field is sensed with a magnetic circuit being arranged to encircle the contact point substantially in a horizontal plane at the level of the contact point.
