LOAD PANEL BRANCH CIRCUIT MONITOR EMPLOYING AN INTELLIGENT CURRENT SENSOR MODULE

摘要

A branch circuit monitor is for a load panel inputting a number of line voltages and including a plurality of currents. The branch circuit monitor includes a processor component having a plurality of digital interfaces and is structured to receive a plurality of first digital values from each of the digital interfaces; and a plurality of metering mechanisms external to the processor component. Each of the metering mechanisms is structured to: communicate with a corresponding one of the digital interfaces, convert analog values from the number of line voltages and a plurality of the currents to a plurality of second digital values, determine a plurality of digital energy values from the second digital values, and transmit the second digital values and the digital energy values to the corresponding one of the digital interfaces.
