    Abstract: A method and apparatus measures electrical power usage and quality, while mitigating the effects of noise on measured signals or parameters. Specifically, a digital electrical power and energy meter employs a method in which a processor averages a parameter, such as voltage or current, over a plurality of cycles of a time-varying signal, such as an AC electrical signal. The method employed by the meter samples a parameter over the plurality of cycles and computes the average of the samples corresponding to the same phase angle of the signal to produce an average signal.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of metering electricity that includes calculating a first accumulated in-phase current indicative of a non-voltage component of energy flow to one or more customer premises during a period of time by a distribution transformer meter (DTM) coupled to a distribution transformer (DT) and calculating second accumulated in-phase current (AIPC) indicative of a non-voltage component of energy flow during a period of time by a feeder current meter coupled to a feeder line. The method further includes transmitting the first AIPC and the second AIPC to a data collecting computing device and comparing the first AIPC with the second AIPC to determine if electricity theft has occurred.

    Abstract: Electronic components of an energy meter are mounted in an encapsulated compartment within a sealed outer enclosure of the meter. The encapsulated compartment is advantageously positioned to form air channels between the encapsulated compartment and the sealed outer enclosure to deliver thermal air circulation there-between to promote sufficient heat transfer through an outer skin of the sealed outer enclosure for maintaining acceptable thermal conditions for the encapsulated electronic components.
