APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC POWER METERING

摘要

An apparatus for automatic power metering within a device is provided. The apparatus includes a metering element and communication elements. The metering element is coupled to a power factor correction circuit at one or more nodes within the device, and is configured to measure and process values on the nodes to generate one or more metering metrics for the device. The metering data includes input power consumed by the device, output power transferred to a load of the device, and power factor corresponding to the device. The communication elements are configured to receive the one or more metering metrics, and are configured to transmit the one or more metering metrics over a communications channel.
