Abstract

An intelligent electronic device (IED) having an interface for displaying data sensed and generated by the intelligent electronic device and other IEDs on a network is provided. The intelligent electronic device includes at least one sensor coupled to the electric circuit configured for measuring at least one power parameter of the electrical circuit and generating at least one analog signal indicative of the at least one power parameter; at least one digital to analog converter coupled to the at least one sensor configured for receiving the at least one analog signal and converting the at least one analog signal to at least one digital signal; a processor configured for receiving the at least one digital signal and generating energy data; a communication device configured for accessing at least one second intelligent electronic device; and an interface configured for displaying data generated by the at least one second intelligent electronic device.

Claims

1. An intelligent electronic device for monitoring power usage of an electrical circuit comprising:

at least one sensor coupled to the electric circuit configured for measuring at least one power parameter of the electrical circuit and generating at least one analog signal indicative of the at least one power parameter;

at least one digital to analog converter coupled to the at least one sensor configured for receiving the at least one analog signal and converting the at least one analog signal to at least one digital signal;

a processor configured for receiving the at least one digital signal and generating energy data;

a communication device configured for accessing at least one second intelligent electronic device; and

an interface configured for displaying data generated by the at least one second intelligent electronic device.
