}This thesis investigates the operation of the current transfonner (CT) when sensing
retum-to-zero current pulses in power electronic circuitry.
The CT's output signal is nonnally rectified when sensing current pulses and the
effects of the different rectification techniques on peak current and average current
droop are evaluated. Initially, the various current sensing techniques and their
application in power electronics circuits are reviewed. The CT and both diode and
synchronous…
