Zusammenfassung:A monitoring system for sensing electrical parameters including current and voltage can comprise a current transformer and an antenna. The current transformer can be configured to sense current passing through a conductor. The antenna can be configured to sense electrical potential of the conductor by sensing an electric field generated by the conductor. The antenna can sense the electrical potential independent of whether current is present in the conductor. The monitoring system can further comprise a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the conductor. A sensing module can include a housing supporting the current transformer, the antenna, and the temperature sensor for monitoring an electrical power circuit.
