ABSTRACT:
Metering kWh in a single phase, 3-wire, F.sub.L Hertz a.c. electrical system is accomplished by detecting the current flow in two lines of the three-wire system by means of a current transformer having two primary windings and a single secondary winding. The voltage in the system is detected by means of a potential transformer having the primary windings thereof connected across the load impedances and having the secondary thereof connected to a pulse width amplitude modulated multiplier. The multiplier derives a signal which is proportional to the current in the system and the detected voltage across the load impedances thereof. The output of the multiplier is converted to a d.c. voltage which is proportional to the total average power consumed by each of the load impedances with the d.c. average power voltage being converted to a pulse train by an analog-to-pulse rate converter. Thus the output of the analog-to-pulse rate converter is a series of output pulse signals having a variable signal repetition rate f proportional to the average power with each pulse signal representing a constant or quantized amount of electrical energy. A counter or register performs conventional accumulation storage and display functions in response to the series of output pulses delivered thereto from the analog to pulse rate converter.
