  • Patent number: 7999532
    Abstract: An integral electronic revenue meter system diagnostics package including a microprocessor, storage memory, preselect series of system diagnostic tests, and recording any results which exceed predefined programmable thresholds, and display means for displaying error and/or diagnostic messages identifying selected diagnostic data and/or errors discovered in the meter tests during a predefined period is included as part of an electricity revenue meter of the type used for collecting metering data for a utility which uses such data for billing purposes. The system automatically senses the type of electrical service in which the revenue meter is installed when the revenue meter is installed in a socket at the customer's premises.

  • Patent number: 5691634
    Abstract: A device for monitoring power in a wye power service having three phases includes a sampling element arranged and configured to sample a current value and a voltage value from each of the three phases. A processor, coupled to said sampling element, calculates power either (i) by using the current value and the voltage value for the at least one phase when the voltage value for the at least one phase is available, or (ii) by using the current value for the at least one phase and the voltage values for the other two phases if the voltage value for the at least one phase is unavailable.
