ABSTRACT:
A support structure is provided that enables an existing kilowatt-hour meter to be updated with additional auxiliary electronic components. The support structure comprises a base ring that is shaped to be received within a circular slot of an existing kilowatt-hour meter and latches are provided that lock the base ring between the existing base portion of a kilowatt-hour meter and its frame. A plurality of support plates are attached to the base ring by a plurality of posts. The base ring and posts are disposed in a radial pattern about the central axis of symmetry of the base ring in such a way so as to permit the support structure to pass over and extend beyond the existing components of the original kilowatt-hour meter. Electrical connection between existing meter components and auxiliary electronic components is provided by flexible ribbon connectors, cables or individual conductors and an elongated cover is used to provide protection of both the original kilowatt-hour meter and the auxiliary components.
