Abstract:
1. A device for measuring current of an electric power line conductor comprising: a housing including an opening for accepting a power line conductor; a first coil loop including coil windings with a first end spaced from a second end and having a circular shape and configured to partially surround the power line conductor located in the housing and an internal central wire attached to an end of the first coil loop and extending through a center of the first coil loop; and a jaw assembly configured to insure a vertical centerline of the first coil loop is aligned with a vertical centerline of the electric power line conductor, wherein the first end of the first coil loop is rigidly fixed from movement relative to the second end of the first coil loop when the jaw assembly moves between an open position for accepting the power line conductor and a closed position for engaging the power line conductor.
