  • Branch circuit monitor power measurement
    Publication number: 20100235122
    Abstract: In a digital branch circuit monitor, compensation for the phase error is accomplished by selecting a voltage sampled at a time temporally offset from the sampling time of the current by an interval quantifying the phase shift of the secondary current relative to the primary current that is characteristic of a current transformer.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Benjamin J. McCrea, Matthew Rupert, Michael Bitsch
  • Branch current monitor with calibration
    Publication number: 20100207604
    Abstract: A meter for measuring electric power consumed by a plurality of branch circuits includes interchangeable current transformers including respective transformer memories for storage of transformer characterization data and enables self-discovery of a phase shift induced by respective current transformers and the phase of current conducted by each branch circuit.

  • Branch current monitor with an alarm
    Publication number: 20100176960
    Abstract: A power meter for monitoring current in a power cable annunciates an alarm if the current transgresses one or more alarm current limits. False alarms are avoided by delaying the activation of the alarm for a delay interval following determination that current is flowing in the monitored conductor.
