Abstract: Systems and techniques for non-intrusive measurement of a cable with multiple conductors include plates that form capacitive couplings with the conductors within the cable. The plates can be placed outside the cable, adjacent to one of the conductors within the cable. The capacitive couplings allow AC voltages within the cable to create currents that flow between the plates. These currents are measured and used to calculate the line voltages on the conductors within the cable.
