  • Simplified energy meter configuration
    Patent number: 9250308
    Abstract: A method of configuring a power meter may include comparing a maximum power measurable by the power meter to a pulse output power comprising a pulse having an initial pulse weight and an initial pulse duration. The power meter may change at least one of the pulse weight and the pulse duration until the pulse output power is at least equal to the maximum power measurable by the power meter.

  • Multi-voltage housing
    Patent number: 7968806
    Abstract: A housing for one or more electrical components that are connected to sources of a plurality of voltages comprises a box, a first cover to cover a first portion of the opening in the box and a second cover to cover a second portion of the opening. The first cover includes a separator that projects into the box when the first cover is installed to divide the interior of the box and so that components connectable to a higher voltage can be separated from components connectable to a lower voltage.
