  • Patent number: 6768315
    Abstract: The measuring precision of an electric power measuring apparatus is improved. A voltage measuring apparatus for sheathed power cable is disclosed as including; a first conductive member arranged to contact the sheathing material for sheathing a power cable conductor, a second conductive member for forming a capacitance between the ground and itself, current voltage converting operation for converting a current signal flowing between the first conductive member and the second conductive member into a voltage signal having a waveform proportional to the current signal, and a voltage value calculating operation for calculating the voltage value applied to the power cable from the signal converted by the current voltage converting operation.
