ABSTRACT:
A circuit condition monitoring system for an electrical power distribution system includes a connector component having an integrally formed test point which provides fault current or voltage loss monitoring of a conductor within the connector. The connector includes an electrically conductive outer sheath layer. An annular channel formed on the surface of and extending through this layer receives the cylindrical end of a circuit monitoring module to form an electrically-isolated sheath portion which is capacitively coupled to the system conductor and to the module to function as a test point for providing operating power to the module. An electrically conductive end cap may be provided to cover the test point when a module is not installed.
