Power source system with multiple electrical outputs
A system providing a power source includes an electrical input and multiple electrical outputs. The electrical input is couplable to a current clamp that selectively clamps around at least one electrical conductor. A transformer coupled to the electrical input receives an input electrical signal from the at least one electrical conductor and produces an output electrical signal that is electrically isolated from the input electrical signal. Conversion circuitry electrically converts the output electrical signal to a converted electrical signal that is usable to power multiple electrical devices. Distribution circuitry distributes the converted electrical signal to the multiple electrical outputs, wherein each electrical output is couplable to an electrical device to provide power to the electrical device.

Non-contact current measurement system
Systems and methods provide a non-contact current measurement system which operates to measure alternating current flowing through an insulated wire without requiring galvanic contact with the insulated wire. The measurement system may include a magnetic field sensor that is selectively positionable proximate an insulated wire under test. In operation the magnetic field sensor detects a magnetic field generated by the current flowing in the insulated wire. Using an adjustable clamp assembly, the measurement system provides control over the mechanical positioning of the insulated wire relative to the magnetic field sensor to ensure consistent measurements. The non-contact current measurement system may determine information relating to the physical dimensions (e.g., diameter) of the insulated wire. Using the detected magnetic field, the known mechanical positioning, and the determined information relating to the physical dimensions of the insulated wire, the measurement system accurately determines the magnitude of the current flowing through the insulated wire without galvanic contact.

Non-contact DC voltage measurement device with oscillating sensor
Systems and methods for measuring DC voltage of an insulated conductor (e.g., insulated wire) are provided, without requiring a galvanic connection between the conductor and a test electrode or probe. A non-contact DC voltage measurement device may include a conductive sensor that is mechanically oscillated.

Clamp sensor and measuring device
A clamped object is reliably clamped. A clamp sensor includes a pair of clamp arms that are formed so as to be substantially arc-shaped in plan view, that are configured so that at least one of the clamp arms is rotatable so that respective front ends of the clamp arms open and close, and that form a ring-shaped body in a state where the front ends are closed. Front end portions of the clamp arms have a pair of facing surfaces that construct the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface of the ring-shaped body, a pair of facing surfaces that construct two side surfaces of the ring-shaped body, a pair of facing surfaces that are inclined to the facing surfaces, and a pair of facing surfaces that are inclined to the facing surfaces.
