    摘要: A meter cap is disclosed which is configured for use with a monitoring unit that is electrically coupled to a panel assembly associated with a structure such as a house or building connected at the edge of an electric power utility network. The meter cap comprises a cable connection configured for electrical coupling to the cable connection in the monitoring unit and one or more blades for engaging one or more jaws of the monitoring unit. The meter cap also includes one or more modular components configured for replacement in the field. The modular components include a display module, an optical interface module, a user interface module, and a relay configured to remotely disconnect the electrical service at the structure. The meter cap receives data from and transmits data to the monitoring unit over the electrically coupled cable connections.

    摘要: A power meter includes a plurality of first terminals for receiving a measure of current and a plurality of second terminals for receiving a measure of voltage of each of one or more phases of power that is delivered to the load. A controller is configured to determine a number of power monitor parameters based on the measure of current of each of one or more phases of power that is delivered to the load and/or the measure of voltage of each of one or more phases of power that is delivered to the load. The power meter includes an I/O interface for communicating one or more of the power monitor parameters over a network using a configurable mapping that maps the power monitor parameters with corresponding addressable locations.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for controlling part of an electric power distribution system using an intelligent electronic device that may rely on communication from wireless electrical measurement devices. Wireless electrical measurement devices associated with different phases of power on an electric power distribution system may send wireless messages containing electrical measurements for respective phases to an intelligent electronic device. When wireless communication with one of the wireless electrical measurement devices becomes inconsistent or lost, the intelligent electronic device may synthesize the electrical measurements of the missing phase using electrical measurements of remaining phases. The intelligent electronic device may use the synthesized electrical measurements to control part of the electric power distribution system.
