Abstract

An intelligent electronic device for monitoring power usage of an electrical circuit includes a housing. At least one sensor is connected to the housing and configured to be connected to an electric circuit. A processor receives a signal from the sensor and calculates at least one power parameter of the electrical circuit. A communication card is disposed in the housing. The communication card is configured to transmit data from the processor to an exterior device and to transmit data from the exterior device to the processor. An external antenna connection is accessible from the exterior of the housing. The external antenna connection is in communication with the communication card to transmit data to and from the communication card.
