Systems for detecting temperature and current events in a power grid and related methods

A system that detects temperature and current events in a power grid, the system comprising:

• a magnetic field sensor associated with an electric meter;
• a first temperature sensor associated with the electric meter;
• a plurality of bus bars connected to the electric meter;
• at least one temperature sensor uniquely associated with each of the plurality of bus bars;
• wherein the system detects a magnetic field and compares the detected magnetic field to an expected magnetic field threshold or magnetic field threshold range in the system to provide a magnetic field comparison result;
• wherein the system detects a plurality of temperatures and compares the detected plurality of temperatures to expected temperature thresholds or temperature threshold ranges in the system to provide a temperature comparison result;
• and
• wherein the system determines if a notification should be sent based on at least one of the magnetic field comparison result and the temperature comparison result,
• wherein at least one current sensor uniquely associated with each of the plurality of bus bars;
• wherein the system detects a plurality of currents and compares the detected plurality of currents to expected current thresholds or current threshold ranges in the system to provide a current comparison result, and
• wherein the system determines if the notification should be sent based on the current comparison result.
