Abstract:
An apparatus with separated conductors comprising:a chassis adapted to receive a first conductor and second conductor; a portion of the first conductor being separated from the chassis and the second conductor a distance sufficient to accommodate a portable, handheld current-sensing device; the portion of first conductor having an insulating jacket and being less flexible than the flexibility of the first conductor without the insulating jacket; the insulating jacket being substantially rigid, and being made of a non-metallic martial; wherein the insulating jacket is mechanically connected to a side of the chassis and extending outwardly from the side of the chassis in a substantial half-loop shape; wherein the side of the chassis is insulated; and wherein the operation of the portable, handheld current-sensing device does not influence the current flow through the apparatus and wherein the apparatus continues to provide electricity even if the portable, handheld current-sensing device malfunctions.
