    Abstract: A utility meter includes a meter housing in which are supported at least one current coil, a temperature sensor, and a processing circuit. The current coil can be coupled to receive heat energy from within or on the meter socket. The temperature sensor generates a sensor signal based on a temperature within the meter housing. The processing circuit is operably coupled to the temperature sensor and the at least one current coil. The processing circuit obtains the sensor signal and generates temperature information therefrom, and also generates measurements of current through the current coil. The processing circuit generates an adjustment based at least on the square of the measured current, and determines whether an abnormal condition exists based on the temperature information, the adjustment, and a threshold. The processing circuit can generate an output signal to a display or communication circuit responsive to determining that the abnormal condition exists.

    Abstract: An energy metering system includes a plurality of sensors arranged in proximity to circuit breakers of a distribution panel for sensing a magnetic field in the area of the circuit breakers and providing corresponding sensor data. The system further includes a data processing system for converting the sensor data of the plurality of sensors into electrical load information for a plurality of electrical circuits protected by corresponding circuit breakers. The system further includes a calibration unit configured to determine at least a reference voltage and a reference current of at least one circuit. The data processing system is configured to calibrate a relationship between the sensor data and the load information based on the reference voltage and reference current determined by the calibration device in a calibration mode of the energy metering system.

    Abstract: A power measurer measures, for each current transformer CT, electric energy supplied to equipment or electric energy supplied from the equipment based on a current measured by a current measurer and a voltage measured by a voltage measurer. A sign memory stores, for each current transformer CT, information indicating whether the electric energy measured by the power measurer when the current transformer CT is disposed in a correct direction on a power line shows a positive sign or a negative sign. A determiner determines that, when the sign stored in the sign memory differs from the sign of the electric energy measured by the power measurer, the current transformer CT is disposed in an incorrect direction on the power line.
