INSULATOR SUPPORT CURRENT SENSOR

摘要

A system and method for measuring at least one characteristic of a power lin e (44) supported by a power line pole (28) includes a pin (40) having a first end coupled to the pole (28) and a second end adapted to engage a sensor (50 ), wherein the sensor (50) measures at least one characteristic of the power li ne (44). The close proximity of the sensing element to the conductor (44) immerses the sensor (50) in the strong magnetic field close to the current carrying conductor (44) to provide low cost accurate current measurement.
