Patent number: 9335353Abstract: A system and method of measuring power consumption in an appliance is provided. An electrical characteristic of a power signal, such as a voltage component and/or a current component, can be detected at the appliance. The detected electrical characteristic can be processed using a signal processor. During signal processing, the detected electrical characteristic can be shifted based on a predetermined threshold and converted to a digital signal. An electrical characteristic offset can be determined based on an average electrical characteristic value of a plurality of detected electrical characteristics. The difference between the electrical characteristic offset value and an instantaneously detected electrical characteristic value can be used to determine power consumption of the appliance.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Sung Dong Yang, Dong Soo Shin, Dong Hun Lee, Young Han Choi, Jae Seok Noh, Eun Yeong An
