CPC G01R 22/10 (2013.01) [G01R 21/006 (2013.01); G01R 21/06 (2013.01); G01R 22/063 (2013.01)] | 18 Claims |
1. A power meter, comprising:
a plurality of first terminals for receiving a measure of current of each of one or more phases of power that is delivered to a load;
a plurality of second terminals for receiving a measure of voltage of each of one or more phases of power that is delivered to the load;
a controller operatively coupled to the plurality of first terminals and the plurality of second terminals, the controller configured to determine a number of power monitor parameters based on the measure of current of each of one or more phases of power that is delivered to the load and/or the measure of voltage of each of one or more phases of power that is delivered to the load;
an Input/Output (I/O) interface for communicating one or more of the power monitor parameters over a network using a configurable mapping that maps each of the power monitor parameters with a corresponding one of a plurality of addressable storage locations within the power meter, wherein the configurable mapping is user configurable; and
wherein a first configuration mapping is used to map each of the power monitor parameters with a corresponding one of the plurality of addressable storage locations within the power meter to emulate a first power meter, and a second different configuration mapping is used to map each of the power monitor parameters with a corresponding one of the plurality of addressable storage locations within the power meter to emulate a second power meter.
