  • Patent number: 9354258
    Abstract: A device including: a conductor through which a current to be measured flows; multiple coils arranged around the conductor; a first magnetic body provided to face one of end surfaces of each of the multiple coils and configured to magnetically short-circuit the multiple coils; and a second magnetic body provided to face another one of the end surfaces of each of the multiple coils, configured to magnetically short-circuit the multiple coils, and including through-holes through which coil wires from the multiple coils are passed, respectively, the through-holes being provided at positions facing the other end surfaces of the multiple coils, respectively.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8433529
    Abstract: In a watt-hour meter, encoders 116, 117, 118 and 119 respectively convert a signal concerning a current and voltage used by a customer into a code sequence signal by Reed-Solomon codes or convolutional codes. Decoders 121, 122, 123, and 124 reversely convert the code sequence signal to the signal concerning the current and voltage. A power calculating section 125 converts the signal concerning the current and voltage into data concerning electricity consumption.

  • Patent number: 8217643
    Abstract: A current detector includes a plate conductor (4) that is folded in one portion in a longitudinal direction to have two parts parallel to and facing each other having a predetermined width (w1) therebetween, so as to compose a looped current path (2a) in the conductor, and a magneto-electric transducer (2) that is placed between the two parts of the conductor (4; 4a, 4b) so that a magnetic sensing axis is parallel to a width direction of the conductor (4), of which a length (a) in a direction of the magnetic sensing axis is smaller than the width (w1) of the conductor.

  • Patent number: 7919960
    Abstract: An electricity meter capable of minimizing a risk of data destruction in case of lightning or surge that involves improperly high voltage is provided. The electricity meter includes a measurement part, an operation part, and an insulation part. The measurement part includes a detection unit to detect electricity consumption of an objective system and a transmission unit to wirelessly transmit data representative of the detected electricity consumption. The operation part includes a reception unit to receive the wirelessly transmitted data and an operation unit to process the received data into data representative of electric energy consumed by the objective system. The insulation part electrically insulates the measurement part and operation part from each other.
