Patent ID: 8884733

Claim:
A current-sense resistor adapted for measuring an electric current comprising: a) a plate-shaped first connecting part for introducing the electric current to be measured, wherein the plate-shaped first connecting part comprises an electrically conductive conductor material, b) a plate-shaped second connecting part for conducting away the electric current to be measured, wherein the plate-shaped second connecting part comprises an electrically conductive conductor material, c) a plate-shaped resistance element, which is connected in a current path between the first and second connecting parts and through which the electric current to be measured flows, wherein the resistance element comprises a low-ohm resistance material, d) wherein the electric current to be measured flows along a main current direction between the first and second connecting parts, e) a first voltage contact connected electrically and mechanically with the plate-shaped first connecting part, f) at least one first incision arranged in the plate-shaped first connecting part in order to reduce a temperature dependency of the measuring, wherein f1)the at least one first incision is oriented at least on a portion of a length thereof transversely with respect to the main current direction, and f2)the at least one first incision extends in an arched manner around the first voltage contact, g) a second voltage contact connected electrically and mechanically with the plate-shaped second connecting part, and h) at least one second incision arranged in the plate-shaped second connecting part in order to reduce the temperature dependency of the measuring, wherein h1) the at least one second incision is oriented at least on a portion of a length thereof transversely with respect to the main current direction, and h2) the at least one second incision extends in an ardhed manner around the second voltage contact.
