Abstract

An intelligent power consumption monitoring and control system is provided. The system is composed of a computer with management software, a group of communication controllers consisting of transmitters, receivers, and modems and insulators. The communication controller connects to a data exchanger in the user'"'"'s intelligent meter which is composed of a meter case, a data display, and a PCB board. A buzzer, a select button, and an alarm reset button are designed on the face of the meter case. On the PCB board, there is a single chip microcomputer, program storage, data memory, a transmitter and receiver module, an A/D and D/A conversion module, a theft control, a power line balance detection module, as well as a power supply module. The invention solves many problems in current power supply management and is an effective total automatic power supply management system with a computer network.
