Abstract:
1. An electrical distribution submetering system comprising: a modular load sensing assembly comprising a plurality of load sensors configured to detect an electrical load of at least one circuit and generate a load signal proportional to the electrical load, said load sensing assembly further comprising a first cable having a first cable termination connector coupled to at least one conductor of the first cable; an interface board comprising a plurality of electrical terminations, at least some of said terminations electrically coupled to a second cable having a second cable termination connector coupled to at least one conductor of the second cable, said second cable termination connector being complementary to said first cable termination connector such that said first cable termination connector and said second cable termination connector are configured to be electrically coupled to each other for transmitting load signals therethrough; and a modular sub metering electronics communicatively coupled to said interface board, said modular sub metering electronics configured to determine a branch circuit load in said electrical distribution system using the detected electrical load.
