Disclosed herein is hardware that can be fitted to a pre-existing circuit breaker panel to allow for the monitoring of power draws in the various circuit breaker branches, which hardware includes current transducers coupled to a wireless hub. The current transducers are coupled to the wires proceeding from each of the circuit breaker branches. The hub computes the power draws for each of the branches using the information provided by the CT as well as the AC input voltages provided to the panel. The hub reports these power draws to an Internet gateway, where the results can be viewed at a web server. The web server may also comprise an analysis module that reviews present and historical power draw data to provide useful power consumption information to a customer for example.
A system for determining a power used in each of a plurality of circuit breakers within a circuit breaker box, each circuit breaker servicing at least one branch wire and powered by at least one input power voltage, such that each circuit breaker provides at least one alternating-current branch current to its at least one serviced branch wire, the system comprising:
