Electrical current transducer (2) of a closed-loop type for measuring a primary current (Ip) flowing in a primary conductor (1), comprising a fluxgate measuring head (7) and an electronic circuit (16) including a microprocessor (18) for digital signal processing. The measuring head includes a secondary coil (6) and a fluxgate detector (4) comprising an excitation coil and a magnetic material core. The electronic circuit comprises an excitation coil drive circuit (14) configured to generate an alternating excitation voltage to supply the excitation coil with an alternating excitation current (Ifx), the secondary coil (6) connected in a feedback loop (12) of the electronic circuit to the excitation coil drive circuit (14), the electronic circuit further comprising a ripple compensation circuit (26, 28) configured to compensate for a ripple signal generated by the alternating excitation voltage.
