ABSTRACT:
An automatic utility meter is provided for collecting, calculating, storing and displaying data correlative of consumption of utility commodities such as electric power, gas, water and the like. In addition, the automatic utility meter includes communication means which allows bi-directional communication of data to and from a remote computer. The automatic utility meter is a direct replacement for existing electric utility meters and uses direct read circuitry to sample and calculate power directly from the input voltage and current waveforms received from an electric utility company.
