Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A sensing module system configured to sense electrical parameters in an electrical power circuit, comprising:
a plurality of sensing modules, each of the plurality of sensing modules configured to sense two or more electrical parameters of a unique power circuit conductor of the electrical power circuit, each of the plurality of sensing modules comprising:
a housing, the housing comprising:
an outer housing wall,
an inner housing wall, the inner housing wall defining an inner opening of the sensing module, the inner opening configured to permit the unique power circuit conductor to pass therethrough;
a current transformer (CT) supported by the housing, the CT configured to sense a first electrical parameter, the first electrical parameter being the electrical current present in the unique power circuit conductor passing through the inner opening; and
an antenna supported by and embedded inside the housing, the antenna configured to sense a second electrical parameter, the second electrical parameter being an electric field generated by the unique power circuit conductor, the electric field related to the electrical potential present in the unique power circuit conductor passing through the inner opening, whereby
the antenna senses the electrical potential present in the unique power circuit conductor independent of whether electrical current is present in the unique power circuit conductor; and
a base, the base supporting the plurality of sensing modules.
