Abstract
Configurations are provided for measuring electrical current flow through an AC power cable to a host device. An enclosure is provided that includes various components, such as components of an active RFID tag. A cable clamp is provided that is configured to attach the enclosure to the AC power cable. The cable clamp includes magnetic sensors that are responsive to electrical current flowing through the AC cable to generate signals indicative of the current flowing through the AC cable.
