Abstract
Methods and systems for electrical distribution submetering are provided. The electrical distribution submetering system includes a modular load sensing assembly including a plurality of load sensors. The load sensing assembly further includes a first cable having a first cable termination connector, an interface board including a plurality of electrical terminations, at least some of the terminations electrically coupled to a second cable having a second cable termination connector coupled to at least one conductor of the second cable, the second cable termination connector being complementary to the first cable termination connector such that the first cable termination connector and the second cable termination connector are configured to be electrically coupled. The submetering system also includes a modular sub metering electronics communicatively coupled to the interface board, the modular sub metering electronics configured to determine a branch circuit load in the electrical distribution system using the detected electrical load.
