  • Non contact power meter independent of placement of field sensors around the cable
    Patent number: 11566918
    Abstract: A non-contact power meter system for measuring power in an energized cable is provided. It includes: at least one electric field sensor; a plurality of magnetic field sensors, wherein the at least two magnetic field sensors together are configured to measure a magnetic field in a tangential direction and a radial direction with respect the energized cable measured; and a processor, which receives measurement signals from the various sensors, and is configured to measure power in the energized cable. A method of determining twist in an energized cable using non-contact power meter system(s) is also provided.
    Type: Grant
