1. A system comprising:
- a set of electrical energy monitoring devices, each of said set of electrical energy monitoring devices adapted to determine an energy usage by a corresponding circuit branch electrically coupled to an electrical energy source via a corresponding circuit breaker, said energy usage determined via a measured voltage relative to neutral at said corresponding circuit breaker and a current flow through said corresponding circuit breaker, each of said set of electrical energy monitoring devices adapted to be mounted in a circuit breaker panel, each of said set of electrical energy monitoring devices adapted to be mounted substantially adjacent to said corresponding circuit breaker, each of said set of electrical energy monitoring devices operably yet non-simultaneously couplable to each of a single phase alternating current circuit branch and a three phase alternating current circuit branch;
an energy monitoring master controller adapted to be communicatively coupled to each of said set of electrical energy monitoring devices, said master controller comprising a web page server connectable to the Internet, said web page server adapted to provide circuit breaker information from each of said set of electrical energy monitoring devices via a web page.
