Abstract:
1. A method for producing an electricity sensing device, the device comprising: a one-piece, U-shaped bent current conductor of a certain length having a magnetic module comprising a lead-through for mounting the current conductor and arranged on the middle portion of the current conductor such that the middle portion of the current conductor passes through the lead-through, the method comprising: providing a magnetic module comprising a lead-through having a diameter sufficient to receive the current conductor; providing a current conductor having a middle portion and two end portions, configured as a straight rod in the middle portion and in at least one of the end portions, and at least partially tin-coated with pure tin or with a coating containing tin, on at least one end portion; positioning the current conductor and the magnetic module relative to each other such that the current conductor is located in the lead-through of the module at the middle portion of the current conductor, and shaping the current conductor into a U-shape having ends each having a flattened portion of rectangular cross-section.
