Abstract

A system for configuration of power meters.

Claims

1. A power meter including registers comprising:

(a) said power meter capable of receiving a plurality of current input signals representative of a current level in a respective conductor;

(b) said power meter capable of receiving a plurality of voltage input signals representative of a voltage level in a respective said conductor;

(c) said power meter including a first data set for a first configuration of a set of registers of said power meter, a second data set for a second configuration of a set of registers of said power meter, a third data set for a third configuration of a set of registers of said power meter;

(d) a selector that selects a first one of said first data set, said second data set, and said third data set for a first load associated with at least one of said conductors for a first set of said registers;

(e) said selector that selects a second one of said first data set, said second data set, and said third data set for a second load associated with at least one of said conductors for a second set of said registers.

2. The power meter of claim 1 wherein said selector said selects a first one of said first data set, said second data set, and said third data set for said first load associated with at least one of said conductors for said first set of said registers.

3. The power meter of claim 2 wherein said selector said selects a second different one of said first data set, said second data set, and said third data set for said second load associated with at least one of said conductors for said second set of said registers.

4. The power meter of claim 3 wherein said selector said selects a third different one of said first data set, said second data set, and said third data set for a third load associated with at least one of said conductors for a third set of said registers.

5. The power meter of claim 4 wherein said first load is a three phase load.

6. The power meter of claim 5 wherein said second load is a single phase load.

7. The power meter of claim 6 wherein said third load is a two phase load.

8. The power meter of claim 1 wherein said first set of registers and said second set of registers are non-overlapping.

9. The power meter of claim 4 wherein said first set of registers, said second set of registers, and said third set of registers are non-overlapping with each other.
