Abstract
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an electrical power meter, is disclosed. The electrical power meter includes a housing for containing electrical circuitry therein, the housing including at least one of voltage and current inputs, the housing including passages extending entirely therethrough, wherein the passages are configured to receive a CT lead therethrough, and wherein the CT leads are not electrically connected to the electrical circuitry therein; and a face plate operatively supported on a surface of the housing, wherein the face plate includes at least one of displays, indicators and buttons. It is envisioned that the through passages are located along a side of the housing.
Claims19
An electrical power meter comprising:
- a housing for containing electrical circuitry for measuring power usage therein, the housing including at least one voltage input and at least one current input, the at least one current input being configured as at least one passage extending entirely through the housing, wherein the at least one passage is configured to receive at least one CT lead therethrough, and wherein said at least one CT lead extends through the at least one passage of the housing un-connected to any electrical component of said electrical circuitry for measuring power usage.
An electrical power meter comprising:
- a housing for containing electrical circuitry for measuring power usage therein, the housing including at least one voltage input and at least one current input, the at least one current input being configured as at least one passage extending entirely through the housing, wherein the at least one passage is configured to receive at least one CT lead therethrough and the at least one current input measures an amount of current in the at least one CT lead, and wherein said at least one CT lead extends through the at least one passage of the housing un-connected to any electrical component of said electrical circuitry for measuring power usage.
An electrical power meter comprising:
- a housing for containing electrical circuitry for measuring power usage therein, the housing including at least one voltage input and at least one current input,
- the at least one current input being configured as at least one passage extending entirely through the housing, wherein the at least one passage is configured to receive at least one elongate, electrically conductive plate configured for selective positioning within the at least one passage of the housing,
- each at least one plate includes a first end and a second end extending from the at least one passage of the housing when the at least one plate is positioned therein, each end of the at least one plate is configured for selective connection of a CT lead thereto,
- wherein the at least one plate extends through the at least one passage of the housing un-connected to any electrical component of said electrical circuitry for measuring power usage.
