1. An apparatus for measuring electrical parameters of an electrical system comprising:
- measurement circuitry configured to measure a first parameter of the electrical system between a first connection to the electrical system and a second connection to the electrical system;
the measurement circuitry further configured to measure a second parameter of the electrical system between a third connection to the electrical system and the second connection to the electrical system, the third connection separate from the first connection and the second connection;
a processor configured to determine a third electrical parameter of the electrical system as a function of the first parameter and the second parameter;
the measurement circuitry further configured to measure a fourth parameter between the third electrical connection to the electrical system and a fourth connection to the electrical system, the fourth connection separate from the first connection, the second connection, and the third connection, the processor configured to determine a fifth electrical parameter of the electrical system as a function of the fourth dynamic parameter and the second parameter; and
wireless communication circuitry configured to wirelessly communicate at least one of the first, second, or fourth parameters to the processor.

Abstract
An apparatus for measuring electrical parameters for an electrical system measures a first and second parameters of the electrical system between connections to the electrical system. A processor determines a third electrical parameter of the electrical system as a function of the first parameter and the second parameter. Wireless communication is provided between components of the apparatus.
