Abstract

A modular system is described which can provide high frequency monitoring of power use and responsive control as well as enabling network connectivity for centralised monitoring and operation. One modular system consists of a communications bus, end caps, and a combination of the modules providing communications, power metering, relay control and battery backup. Each modular system can be configured with a combination of modular units as needed for the application. A combination of bus communication monitoring and tilt detection provides security against external tampering after installation.

IPC Classes  ?

• G06F 11/22 - Detection or location of defective computer hardware by testing during standby operation or during idle time, e.g. start-up testing
• G06F 1/26 - Power supply means, e.g. regulation thereof
• G06F 13/36 - Handling requests for interconnection or transfer for access to common bus or bus system
• H02J 13/00 - Circuit arrangements for providing remote indication of network conditions, e.g. an instantaneous record of the open or closed condition of each circuitbreaker in the network; Circuit arrangements for providing remote control of switching means in a power distribution network, e.g. switching in and out of current consumers by using a pulse code signal carried by the network
• G06F 21/86 - Secure or tamper-resistant housings
• H02J 11/00 - Circuit arrangements for providing service supply to auxiliaries of stations in which electric power is generated, distributed or converted
• H02J 3/18 - Arrangements for adjusting, eliminating or compensating reactive power in networks
• G06Q 50/06 - Electricity, gas or water supply
