Patent attributes
Systems and methods are provided for measuring electrical parameters in an insulated conductor without requiring a galvanic connection. A sensor probe is provided that includes a body and a flexible arm or strap that is movable between an open position that allows a conductor to be moved into and out of a measurement area of the probe, and a closed position that secures the insulated conductor within the measurement area so that one or more measurements may be obtained. The electrical parameter sensor probe may include a non-contact sensor coupled to at least one of the body or the flexible arm. A user may apply a force to an actuator (e.g., slide switch) which moves the flexible arm from the closed position into the open position against a bias force so that the insulated conductor under test may be positioned and secured in the measurement area of the sensor probe.
