An apparatus (10) for measurement of power in an electric power transmission line (20) is disclosed. The apparatus (10) comprises a magnetic field sensor (30) for measuring the magnetic field (35) at the electric power transmission line (20) and transmitting magnetic field data (37) to a processor (40). The magnetic field sensor (30) is arranged proximate to but at a distance from the electric power transmission line (20). The apparatus (10) also has a voltage sensor (50) arranged distally from the magnetic field sensor (30) for transmitting voltage waveform data (55) to the processor (40) and a transfer function calculator (60) for calculating the relationship between the transmitted voltage waveform data at the voltage sensor (50) and transmission line voltage waveform data (55). A method for measurement of power in an electric power transmission line (20) is also disclosed and comprises measuring the magnetic field (35) about the electric power transmission line (20) proximate to but at a distance from the electric power transmission line (20), measuring a distal voltage waveform (55) distally from the electric power transmission line (20), calculating a transmission line voltage waveform data from the distal voltage waveform (55) and calculating the power in the electric power transmission line (20) from the transmission line voltage waveform data and the magnetic field data (37). |
