Abstract
A device and method are provided for monitoring voltage and current in a continuous conductor. A current sensor is configured to sense current in the continuous conductor. A voltage sense conductor is provided and a guided path is configured to bring the voltage sense conductor into contact with the continuous conductor at a pre-determined orientation. A communication interface is configured to receive information about a common reference voltage from a source, the source being external to the device. A voltage measuring circuit is configured to estimate voltage between a voltage sensed by the voltage sense conductor and the common reference voltage using the information about the common reference voltage.
