Energy monitoring system for a plurality of local stations with snapshot polling from a central station.

摘要

PC computer monitors the energy consumed at local stations positioned behind an electrical meter of a utility company for individual billing of the local users using a bidirectional communication line. A command from the PC computer causes at each station the totalized energy to be stored, and then PC computer derives individual billing. A plurality of backpack units are directly mounted and plugged on panelboard circuit breakers for voltage and current sensing. Each backpack unit incorporates two printed board circuits. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
