Abstract
Energy monitoring and control strategies can be asymmetrical, chasing pennies of hoped-for savings with dollars of installation and monitoring expense. Modern sensors can be used to accurately measure voltage and current without the requirement for a permeable magnetic core or the need to surround the conductor, e.g., with a Rogowski coil. These sensors can be used to find currents and voltages without the need to invasively separate existing conductors. These sensors could greatly lower installation and monitoring expense, and provide quickly installed access for acquiring actionable energy consumption information and power quality assessment.
