Mounting system for sensors on electrical power lines

A system for monitoring current and voltage from a power source, the system comprising:

• a power source configured to generate electrical power;
• a first power line electrically coupled to the power source at a first end, the first power line having a first portion disposed underground and a second portion;
• a primary electrical distribution system spaced apart from the ground, the primary electrical distribution system having a second power line, wherein the second portion is electrically coupled to the second power line;
• a sensor electrically coupled to the second power line, operably coupled to the second portion, and configured to simultaneously measure voltage and current of the second portion;
• and
• a mounting system that suspends the sensor from the second power line, the mounting system comprising:
• a first hot line clamp configured to couple with the second portion;
• a first spacer member having a length coupled to the first hot line clamp;
• a plate coupled to between the sensor and the first spacer member;
• and
• a current clamp coupled to the plate and operably coupled between the sensor and the second portion.
