摘要： An electronic trip unit for a circuit breaker includes a programmed microprocessor and a module plug in removable signal communication with the microprocessor. The module plug includes a program identifier. The microprocessor recognizes the program identifier and accesses a program of a plurality of programs external to the module plug based on the program identifier. The microprocessor responds to the program to perform a function identified by the module plug. The function identifiable by the module plug includes a communications function, a load monitoring function, a non-tripping ground fault alarm function, a flag function, or any combination thereof.

摘要： A utility meter label support and antenna are described. The label support supports a product label and an antenna for radio frequency-based, remote meter reading capability, all within standard type utility meter housing. In one embodiment, the label support is fabricated from molded plastic and includes a plurality of support members connected to a substantially planar member. The support members are configured to insert into openings in the printed circuit board of the utility meter. The antenna is embedded in a flexible circuit and mounted on the planar member. A conducting element is embedded in a portion of the flexible circuit and is configured to physically and electrically connect the antenna to a transceiver on the circuit board. A product label is mounted on the label support and may be viewed through a transparent window in the meter housing.
