Abstract
A system for energy metering with temperature monitoring that includes a plurality of current sensors, suitable to sense a changing current in a respective power cable, that provide a respective first output. The energy metering system includes a support and current sensors interconnected to the support at spaced apart locations along the support. A temperature sensor that provides a second output and is interconnected to the support. The energy metering system receives the respective first output and the second output and determines characteristics of the energy system based upon the second output.
Claims20
An energy system comprising:
- (a) a plurality of at least three current sensors, suitable to sense a changing current in a respective power cable, that provide a respective first output;
- (b) an elongate support;
- (c) said at least three current sensors interconnected to said elongate support at a set of uniformly spaced apart locations along said elongate support that is consistent with the spacing of a uniformly spaced apart set of at least three power cables each of which is interconnected to a respective one of a uniformly spaced apart set of at least three circuit breakers of a power panel;
- (d) at least three temperature sensors that each provide a respective second output;
- (e) each of said temperature sensors interconnected to said elongate support at a set of spaced apart locations along said elongate support;
- (f) said energy system receives said respective first output from said at least three current sensors and said respective second output from each of said at least three temperature sensors, and (1) determines characteristics of said energy system based upon a plurality of said second outputs to identify one of said at least three circuit breakers that is likely to trip and (2) determines characteristics of said energy system based upon said plurality of said second outputs to identify another one of said at least three circuit breakers that is not likely to trip, while said one of said at least three circuit breakers is identified as said likely to trip.
