Abstract
Systems for monitoring power consumption. The system includes at least one circuit breaker having a sensor for measuring current flowing through the circuit breaker and for sending a sensor signal commensurate with the current and a first electrical connector connected to the sensor. The system also includes a controller spaced apart from the circuit breaker and adapted to receive the sensor signal from the circuit breaker, a second electrical connector adapted to detachably engage the first electrical connector and connected to the controller, and an external device for communicating an electrical signal with the controller to control the controller.
