UTILITY DISCONNECT MONITOR NODE WITH COMMUNICATION INTERFACE

摘要

An apparatus for monitoring the presence of voltage on the load side of a utility meter socket includes a circuit for detecting the presence of voltage on the load side output of the socket and a communication device connected to the circuit to transmit data relating to the presence of voltage on the load side output to the utility. Also provided is a method of monitoring the voltage on the load side of the utility, the method including installing an electric utility Disconnect Monitor Node into a utility meter socket, detecting the presence of voltage on the load side output of the utility meter socket, and transmitting data relating to the presence of voltage on the load side output.
