First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electronic watt-hour meter, comprising:
- a current transformer operatively coupled to the electronic watt-hour meter;
a first shield on a first side of the current transformer; and
a second shield on a second side of the current transformer, wherein the second side is substantially parallel to the first side,wherein the first shield and the second shield each include a substantially disc shaped body;
an aperture through approximately a center of the body; and
a gap in the body, the gap extending from an edge of the body to the aperture and a substantially magnetically permeable and conductive metal, and wherein the aperture accommodates a potential link through the current transformer.

7. An electronic watt-hour meter, comprising:
-
a current transformer operatively coupled to the electronic watt-hour meter; a first shield on a first side of the current transformer; a second shield on a second side of the current transformer, wherein the second side is substantially parallel to the first side; wherein at least one of the first shield and the second shield substantially shields up to approximately 5000 gauss from an external magnet and wherein the first shield and the second shield each include a substantially disc shaped body;
an aperture through approximately a center of the body; and
a gap in the body, the gap extending from an edge of the body to the aperture and a substantially magnetically permeable and conductive metal, and wherein the aperture accommodates a potential link through the current transformer.
