1. An intelligent electronic device for monitoring power usage of an electrical circuit comprising:
a housing including an interior;
at least one sensor coupled to the electric circuit, the at least one sensor measures at least one parameter of the electrical circuit and generates at least one analog signal indicative of the at least one parameter;
at least one analog to digital converter coupled to the at least one sensor, the at least one analog to digital converter receives the at least one analog signal and converts the at least one analog signal to at least one digital signal;
at least one first processor that receives the at least one digital signal and calculates at least one power parameter of the electrical circuit; and
a removable communication card disposed in the interior of the housing that receives the calculated at least one power parameter from the at least one first processor and wirelessly transmits the calculated at least one power parameter to at least one other device, the communication card including at least one antenna, the at least one antenna disposed in the interior of the housing,
wherein the communication card includes a mounting member that retains the communication card in the housing, the mounting member including at least one connector that couples the at least one antenna to the communication card, the at least one connector extends from the mounting member in a direction away from the interior of the housing.
