摘要： An apparatus for monitoring the presence of voltage (90,96) on the load side (18) of a utility meter socket includes a circuit for detecting the presence of voltage (90,96) on the load side output (18) of the socket and a communication device (55) connected to the circuit to transmit data relating to the presence of voltage on the load side output (18) to the utility. Also provided is a method of monitoring the voltage on the load side (18) of the utility, the method including installing an electric utility Disconnect Monitor Node into a utility meter socket, detecting the presence of voltage (90,96) on the load side output (18) of the utility meter socket, and transmitting data relating to the presence of voltage on the load side output (56,58).
