Abstract:
A sensor probe includes a body, a sleeve that is moveable along the body between open and closed positions, a clamp having first and second jaws that contain an interior region within the clamp, and a non-contact sensor coupled to the sleeve and positioned at or near a perimeter of the interior region within the clamp. When the sleeve is in the open position, the first and second jaws create a gap that allows an insulated conductor to pass into the interior region within the clamp. When the sleeve is in the closed position, the first and second jaws close the gap and thereby close the interior region within the clamp. The size of the interior region is reduced when the sleeve is moved toward the closed position. The non-contact sensor is configured to detect an electrical parameter of the insulated conductor without requiring galvanic contact with the conductor.
