Current and/or voltage detector for a distribution system
First Claim
1. A current detector for a distribution system, comprising a lower section, an upper section, and a fastening means for combining said lower and upper sections into one body,said lower section comprising:
- a first receiving portion for receiving an electric wire of the distribution system, said first receiving portion being disposed on the upper surface of said lower section; and
an optical type current sensor,said upper section comprising a second receiving portion for receiving the electric wire, said second receiving portion being disposed on the lower surface of said upper section to face said first receiving portion, said upper section further including a U-shaped magnetic core surrounding said second receiving portion, the two end portions of said magnetic core protruding from the surface of said upper section, said lower section further comprising two recesses for receiving the two end portions of said U-shaped core when said upper and lower sections are combined into one body, and wherein said current sensor means is disposed within the gap of said U-shaped magnetic core when said upper and lower sections are combined into one body.
