    Abstract: Systems and methods for faster, safer and lower cost means of interconnecting local generation or power monitoring systems to a residential or commercial electric power system so that the connection is made via a direct connection to the power meter socket on the consumer side of the meter. The breaker for the system is collocated with the interconnection. Further modern energy management system typically require measurement of an entire premise's power and energy load, requiring additional power measurement probes and communications wiring. Instead of being connected to a new, upgraded breaker in the main service panel on the consumer side of the meter which often requires extensive and time consuming work to do as well as additional potential complications, embodiments of the invention may allow for a quick interconnection by inserting an attachment underneath the existing standardized meter for simplified power connection, measurement and communications.

    Abstract: The present invention is a meter for recording voltage and current on a transformer. The device has a housing with a body portion and a lever portion, the lever portion being movable between a closed position wherein the lever portion abuts the body portion and an open position wherein the lever portion is positioned away from the body portion. The device includes a pair of current sensors each current sensor being divided into two corresponding sensor fractions with one fraction of each sensor formed on the body portion of the housing and the other corresponding fraction formed on the lever portion of the housing. The fractions of each sensors are constructed such that each of the current sensors have a central opening dimensioned to receive one of the transformer terminals when the lever portion of the housing is in its first position. The current sensors are positioned on the housing such that the meter can be mounted to the terminals of the transformer. The device also includes two voltage leads which can be attached to the transformers terminals. An instrumentation module is contained in the housing and is coupled to the current sensors and the voltage leads, the instrumentation module being adapted and configured to record voltage and current measurements from the current sensors and voltage leads. The instrumentation module includes a signal processing module for processing the voltage and current signals to provide other information such as energy and accumulated in-phase current 90 data. Finally, the device includes a communications module coupled to the instrumentation module for communicating the voltage and current measurements and the derived data to a remote user.

    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.
