Abstract:
1. An electrical power meter comprising: a housing for containing electrical circuitry for measuring power usage therein, the electrical circuitry including a digital sampler configured for sampling at least one voltage waveform and at least one current waveform and at least one processor configured to execute a plurality of different tasks related to the sampled at least one voltage and current waveforms and running independently from one another in response to a plurality of concurrent request submitted by multiple users, wherein the housing includes at least one voltage input and at least one current input coupled to the digital sampler, the at least one voltage input being disposed on a surface of the housing and 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; and a network interface configured to simultaneously provide the multiple users each with a result of a respective one of said plurality of different tasks.
