Theory

Current sensor Transfer impedance Prove.PNG

The left impedance is the signal generator which is generating enough power for 1 ampere.

This 1Amp. generates in the right impedance.

The current sensor has 1 ohm transfer impedance, this means 1 ampere generates 1 Volt on the measuring part below.

The power in the lower 50 ohm impedance is
