Abstract:
1. A monitoring system within a power panel comprising: (a) a support supporting at least four current transformers thereon located within said power panel; (b) each of said current transformers providing an output; (c) a connection electrically interconnected to a conductor within said power panel having an associated voltage of at least one of said at least four current transformers; (d) a power monitor located within said power panel that is electrically interconnected by a flexible interconnection to said support which receives said output; (e) said power monitor electrically interconnected to said connection to receive a signal representative of said associated voltage; (f) said power monitor calculates the power associated with at least a respective one of said current transformers based upon said respective output and said associated voltage and subsequently provides said calculated power to an external device; and (g) wherein said power monitor calculates power associated with at least one other of said four current transformers that is not subsequently provided to the external device from said power monitor.
