Abstract:
1. A current-sensing assembly comprising: a housing; first and second current transformers contained in and fixed in position by the housing, each current transformer including a conducting wire wrapped around a core; at least one transformer conducting pin corresponding to each of the first and second current transformers, each pin inserted through the housing to expose a top end and a bottom end; a common conducting pin inserted through the housing to expose a top end and a bottom end; wherein, for each of the first and second current transformers, the top end of the transformer pin is electrically coupled to an end of the conducting wire of the corresponding current transformer through a window in the housing coinciding with the current transformer; the top end of the common pin is electrically coupled to the opposite end of the coil conductor through the window; and the bottom end of the transformer pin is configured to be coupled to a printed circuit board; and the housing comprising first and second elongated rings passing substantially through the center of the corresponding current transformer, the elongated rings configured to accept first and second current lines, respectively.
