1. A current sensor comprising:
a current transferring conductor to conduct current;
four magnetic field sensors, with the four magnetic field sensors being divided into two pairs of magnetic field sensors; and
support elements,
wherein the support elements are provided to position the magnetic field sensors radially relative to the current transferring conductor;
wherein two magnetic field sensors are arranged in a V-shaped manner relative on one face of the current transferring conductor and two magnetic field sensors are arranged in the V-shaped manner on another face of the current transferring conductor; and
wherein, of the magnetic field sensors arranged in the V-shaped manner, the ones of each side running parallel to each other.
