This paper presents the application of a compact and fully integrated LED quantum sensor based on the NV centers in diamond for current measurement in a busbar. The magnetic field measurements from the sensor are directly compared with measurements from a numerical simulation, eliminating the need for calibration. The sensor setup achieves an accuracy of 0.28% in the measurement range of 0–30 A DC. The integration of advanced quantum sensing technology with practical current measurement demonstrates the potential of this sensor for applications in electrical and distribution networks.
