Abstract:
1. Auxiliary element ( 2 ) for securement and positioning, to be used pairwise to fix and position a current sensor ( 1 ) relative to at least one electrical conductor ( 3 , 4 , 31 , 32 , 33 ) through which flows a current to be measured, said auxiliary element ( 2 ) comprising a plate ( 20 ) having an internal surface ( 201 ) adapted to be applied against a large surface ( 11 ) of the sensor ( 1 ) and an external surface ( 200 ) which carries, along a first edge ( 202 ), two spaced securement tongues ( 203 ) which extend outwardly at a right angle relative to said external surface ( 200 ) and in which is formed a first pair of passages ( 204 , 205 ) for first screws permitting the securement of the auxiliary element ( 2 ) on a support (S), said plate ( 20 ) comprising a passage opening ( 210 ) for the electrical conductor and, symmetrically on opposite sides of said opening ( 210 ), a second pair of passages ( 207 ) for second screws ( 62 ) permitting the securement of the plate ( 20 ) to the sensor ( 1 ), wherein the passage opening ( 210 ) for the conductor is constituted by a recess ( 210 ) formed in a second edge ( 206 ) of the plate ( 20 ) opposite the first edge ( 202 ), and passages of the second pair of passages ( 207 ) are constituted by two parallel slots which extend perpendicularly to the first edge ( 202 ) of the plate ( 20 ).
