Abstract
The present disclosure is a system for monitoring power that has a unified polyphase distribution transformer monitoring (PDTM) device that interfaces with at least three electrical conductors electrically connected to a transformer. In addition, the PDTM device measures a current and a voltage of each of the three electrical conductors. Additionally, the system has logic that calculates values indicative of power corresponding to the transformer based upon the currents and the voltages measured and transmit data indicative of the calculated values.
Claims10
A system for monitoring power, comprising:
- a polyphase distribution transformer monitoring (PDTM) device configured to interface with at least three electrical conductors electrically connected to a transformer, the PDTM device further configured to measure a current and a voltage of each of the three electrical conductors;
- and
- logic configured to calculate values indicative of power corresponding to the transformer based upon the currents and the voltages measured and transmit data indicative of the calculated values.
A method for monitoring power, comprising:
- interfacing a polyphase distribution transformer monitoring (PDTM) device having at least three current sensors and three voltage leads corresponding to the current sensors with at least three electrical conductors electrically connected to a transformer by coupling;
- measuring a current and a voltage of each of the three electrical conductors via the current sensors and the voltage leads;
- calculating values indicative of power corresponding to the transformer based upon the current and the voltage measured;
- and
- transmitting data indicative of the calculated values.
