SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF THE ELECTRIC ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A PLURALITY OF CONSUMERS

摘要

The present invention refers to a centralized system and process for measuring, registering, reading and billing data referring to electric energy consumption of a plurality of consumers (14-17), which receive the electric energy through a plurality of respective consumer connecting cables (18-21), connected to a main electric energy inlet cable (12) which, in turn, is connected to the electric energy distributing network (11). The system object of this invention basically comprises a voltage sensor (27); a plurality of energy transducer modules (ETMs) (28-31), each one connected to a respective consumer connecting cable (18-21) and including a current sensor (34) connected to an energy transducer circuit (35) connected to said voltage sensor (27) and capable of generating, in its output, signals corresponding to the current and voltage present at the respective consumer connecting cable (18-21); and a register/concentrator module (RCM) (26) having a memory and connected to the outputs of the several energy transducer circuits (35), and being capable of processing the said signals corresponding to current and voltage for their transmission or visual exhibition. The process of the present invention basically comprises the steps of measuring the current and voltage present in each consumer connecting cable (18-21); generating signals corresponding to such current and voltage; sending the said signals to a register/concentrator module (RCM) (26) having a memory and capable of processing the said signals for their transmission or visual exhibition.
