Abstract
An electric metering system comprising a plurality of metering devices controlled by a metering controller. Each of the metering devices provides the controller with instantaneous measurements of electric current within an associated electric conductor. The metering controller is operative to collect the measurement information, compute consumption information, store the information and retrieve the information for each metering device independently.

17. A method for measuring distributed consumption, the method comprising:
-
measuring instantaneous consumption, substantially concurrently, at a plurality of measuring points to provide instantaneous consumption measurement for each measuring point; communication said instantaneous consumption measurements to a local controller; computing, at said local metering controller, periodical consumption measurement, for each said measuring points; storing said periodical consumption measurement at said local metering controller for later retrieval; and providing said periodical consumption measurement independently of each other. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
