Abstract
A molded plastic housing mounts a coil adjacent to a conductor to act as a current responsive pickup means. The mounting arrangement for the pickup coil uses no magnetic circuit and is adapted to self-center the structure on conductors of varying sizes without the need to sever and reconnect the current carrying conductor. The pickup means provide a substantially linear output voltage from the pickup coil versus the current being carried in the monitored conductor.
