  • Patent number: 6759840
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for configuring a current carrying and current sensing configuration using a rigid magnetically permeable guide core extending between facing first and second guide ends, the first and second ends of the core defining a sensing gap having a sensing dimension therebetween, an internal surface of the core forming a core space, the method including sliding a segment of a conductor through the sensing gap and into the core space such that the conductor extends through the core space, attaching a flux sensor to a clip member and mounting the clip member within the sensing space such that the sensor is within the sensing space.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6686730
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sensing magnetic field flux formed by current passing through a conductor, the apparatus comprising a rigid magnetically permeable core extending between facing first and second ends and formed about a conductor receiving space, the first and second ends forming first and second guide couplers, respectively, and defining a mounting gap therebetween having a mounting gap dimension, a resilient clip member including first and second clip couplers at oppositely facing first and second edges, respectively, the first and second guide couplers operably receiving the first and second clip couplers, respectively, to mount the clip within the mounting gap with a sensing space formed on a first side of the clip member between the first and second ends and a magnetic flux sensor mounted to the first side of the clip member substantially within the sensing space.
