ABSTRACT:
A clamp and antenna for an overhead power line conductor includes a C shaped housing having upper and lower jaws movable relative to each other for securing the clamp to the overhead power line. A power supply is positioned in the housing and is energized by current following through the power line. A transmitter, powered by the power supply, transmits data using a portion of the housing as an antenna. The antenna provides a guide for an actuator for moving the jaws of the housing relative to each other.
