Abstract:
An electricity meter includes a disconnect switch connected to a service transformer, a line-side sense circuit, a load-side sense circuit, and a measurement and control circuit. The disconnect switch is configured to receive a phase voltage and an anti-phase voltage from the service transformer. The line-side sense circuit includes a first sense circuit configured to detect the phase voltage delivered to the electricity meter and a second sense circuit configured to detect the anti-phase voltage delivered to the electricity meter, the first sense circuit and the second sense circuit are each connected to a floating reference node. The load-side sense circuit is configured to detect the existence of a phase load and an anti-phase load at a service entrance. The measurement and control circuit is configured to receive a phase output voltage and an anti-phase output voltage from the line-side sense circuit and further configured to receive a phase load output voltage and anti-phase load output voltage from the load-side sense circuitry.
