How do you measure Current in a Power Cable?

Current sensors in the form of current loops or current clamps are sensors through which a power cord is run. The loop and clamp is in two parts and attaches around the cable to be measured. The current passing through the cable is measured using induction to generate a value in Amps of the power being drawn by the connected load. The current sensor is connected to an base environment monitoring device which acts as central point for data collection. Monitoring software is used to analyse the data and trigger an alarm notification outside threshold settings.
