  • Contactless power meter
    Patent number: 12487259
    Abstract: A power meter includes a housing attached to a conductor, a hall-effect current sensor disposed in the housing and contactlessly sensing a current of a conductor signal transmitted along the conductor, and a voltage sensor disposed in the housing and contactlessly sensing a voltage of the conductor signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2023
    Date of Patent: December 2, 2025
    Assignee: Senva Inc.
    Inventors: Scott Leonard, Dalton Paull, Kent Holce, Andre Perra
  • Power Meter Determining An Operating State
    Publication number: 20250035682
    Abstract: A power meter includes a current sensor sensing a current of a conductor signal transmitted along a conductor and outputting a current signal based on the current, a voltage sensor sensing a voltage of the conductor signal and outputting a voltage signal based on the voltage, and a controller receiving the current signal and the voltage signal and calculating a power factor of the conductor signal based on the current signal and the voltage signal. The controller determines an operating state of a powered device to which the conductor feeds the conductor signal based on the power factor.

  • Apparatus, system, and/or method for protection and control of an electrical device
    Publication number: 20080094768
    Abstract: An electrical device protection apparatus, such as an overload relay, can include a microprocessor 102 that can receive a wide range of current signals from a current transformer or other current sensor. Also microprocessor 102 can employ a voltage sensor 112 to measure line voltage, for representing true power, and as a power supply 114 source for the microprocessor 102. The microprocessor can then generate annunciation signals 118, control signals 120, and/or communication signals 122 as necessary for the control and/or protection of an attached electrical device.
