Claim 18:
19. A method of sensing two or more electrical parameters in an electrical power circuit, comprising:
attaching a housing around a power circuit conductor of the electrical power circuit such that the power circuit conductor passes through an inner opening of the housing;
outputting a signal representative of a quantity of a first electrical parameter of the power circuit conductor via a current transformer (CT) supported by the housing and positioned around the power circuit conductor, the first electrical parameter being an electrical current present in the power circuit conductor;
sensing a second electrical parameter of the power circuit conductor via an antenna supported by and embedded within the housing, the second electrical parameter being an electric field generated by the power circuit conductor, wherein
the electric field is related to electrical potential present in the power circuit conductor, and the antenna senses the electrical potential present in the power circuit conductor independent of whether electrical current is present in the power circuit conductor.
