Abstract
The paper describes a nanosecond current transducer which is a hybrid between a shunt and a Rogowski loop. Its readings are independent of t he distribution of the current to be measured, and it does not distort the electromagnetic field where it is located. The transducer was des igned to measure large currents (tens of kiloamperes) with rise times of tens of nanoseconds and fall times of tens of microseconds.
