The Zero-flux TM principle is by
far the best way to measure
Direct Currents. Galvanic
separation, extremely high
accuracy and stability are
the foremost advantages of
this principle. The Zero-flux TM
principle was already known at
the turn of the 20th century, but
was never put into practice.
It found its revival in the mid
sixties when a scientist at
Cern in Geneva, developed
techniques to use it for very
accurate measurements of
current. Soon a commercial
version became available for
general use when Hitec Power
Protection became the first to
manufacture a product based
on this zero-flux principle.

The Zero-flux TM
current sensors
the Zero-flux tm current sensors are
well-liked in high-energy physics
research centers for rectification
systems supplying the current
that generate the magnetic fields
for the focusing and deflection
of elementary particles or for the
containment of plasma.
