Abstract:
1. An electric power meter having an analog to digital converter coupled with a sensor operative to sense electrical energy in one or more conductors and output corresponding electrical signals, the analog to digital converter being operative to convert the electrical signals output by the sensor to corresponding digital signals and having a processor for processing at least one of the digital signals, comprising: a memory for storing network application protocol conversion algorithms; and a network interface operative to implement a network communication protocol; wherein said processor performs at least one power calculation and converts at least one of the digital signals and the power calculation to at least one network application protocol different from said network communication protocol using one of said network application protocol conversion algorithms, said at least one network application protocol provided through said network interface; wherein said network application protocol is one of e-mail, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
