ABSTRACT:
A electrical current measuring and circuit breaking system attached between a vehicle battery and a vehicle power cable for measuring a current flowing from the battery. The electrical current measuring and circuit breaking system includes a clamp for connecting with a terminal of the battery and an electrical terminal for connection to the power cable. A device for sensing current flowing from the battery is connected to the clamp. The sensed current is transmitted to a comparator for comparing the sensed current to a reference value and determining when the sensed current is one of equal to and less than the reference value. The electrical current measuring and circuit breaking system may also include a device for alerting the operator when the battery power has reached a predetermined level. In this instance a signal will be transmitted to an alarm device available to the operator to alert the driver that the battery current is at a low level.
