Abstract :
An innovative distributed approach to power metering on the multiple branch circuits supplied from a common distribution panel is presented. The power metering manifold´s master-slave design results in substantial savings in analog circuitry, digital hardware, and communication components when compared to the conventional single monitor per circuit approach
