A faulted circuit sensor is disposed in a releasable and reusable clamp mountable on an electrical conductor. The clamp includes a body for receiving the faulted circuit sensor indicating circuitry and a pair of hinged fingers which actuate over the conductor to grip the clamp to the conductor and align the fault indicating circuitry with respect to the conductor. The fingers include a triggering arm which causes the arms to engage over the conductor when the conductor is properly aligned in the proximity of the clamp.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 24, 1993 and granted February 19, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 24, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 24, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
