System and Device for Measuring Voltage in a Conductor

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a device for measuring voltage from a conductor. The device has first and second cylindrical electrodes positioned about the conductor and a circuit interfaced with the first and second electrodes that generates a signal proportional to a voltage of the conductor.

1 . A device for measuring voltage from a conductor, comprising:
 a first cylindrical electrode positioned about the conductor;   a second cylindrical electrode positioned about the conductor; and   a circuit interfaced with the first and second electrodes, the circuit configured to generate a signal proportional to a voltage of the conductor.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the each electrode is spaced from the conductor. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the circuit generates the signal proportional to the conductor without interference from a second conductor within proximity to the first conductor. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first conductor is substantially the same width as the second conductor. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first conductor is wider than the second conductor.
