1. A sensor system for an electrical conductor, the sensor system comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing from a first position to a second position, the first housing and the second housing cooperating to form a ring around the electrical conductor when the second housing is in the first position;
a first plurality of magnetic field sensors operably coupled to the first housing, each of the first plurality of magnetic field sensors having a different sensing axis, each of the first plurality of magnetic field sensors being configured to output a first signal in response to electrical power flowing through the electrical conductor;
a second plurality of magnetic field sensors operably coupled to the second housing, each of the second plurality of magnetic field sensors having a different sensing axis, each of the second plurality of magnetic field sensors being configured to output a second signal in response to the electrical power flowing through the electrical conductor; and
a circuit is electrically coupled to receive a plurality of first signals from the first plurality of magnetic field sensors and the second plurality of magnetic field sensors.
