Abstract:
1. A current sensor comprising: a first support including: a second support rotatable attached to the first support, the second support being configured to rotate in a circumferential direction of the current line, and including: a first group of magnetic detector elements provided on the first support, the first group including a plurality of magnetic detector elements outputting output signals corresponding to an induction magnetic field from the current to be measured; and a second group of magnetic detector elements provided on the second support, the second group including a plurality of magnetic detector elements outputting output signals corresponding to the induction magnetic field, wherein the first and second supports guide and receive the current line onto the first and second supporting surfaces, respectively, in a state where the first and second cutout portions are aligned with each other, and when the current line is attached, and wherein the first and second supports secure the current line with the first and second supporting surfaces, respectively, at first and second positions of the current line from first and second directions, respectively, the first and second positions being different from each other in an axis direction of the current line, and the first and second directions being different from each other.
