Abstract:
1. A device connectable to an electric power line conductor comprising: an electrically conductive insulated first winding of wire wound into at least two turns having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is configured to be attached to a first power line conductor; an electrically conductive insulated second winding of wire wound into at least one turn, the second winding of wire having a first end connected to the second end of the first winding of wire and a second end configured to be attached to a second power line conductor; and an automatic switchable connecting device including a rotary by-pass switch blade and rotary tap selector switch blade mounted on a common shaft configured to move between a first position with the first winding of wire in series with the first power line conductor and the second power line conductor in response to a first power line current profile and a second position with the first power line conductor, the first winding of wire, and the second winding of wire connected to the second power line conductor in series in response to a second power line current profile.
