Pool Automation Controller for Individual Equipment Power Measurement

The patent segments the total power consumption measurement into individual equipment measurements by adding separate inductance coils for each piece of equipment. Each coil independently measures the current drawn by its associated equipment, allowing the controller to report and analyze power consumption at the individual equipment level rather than only as a aggregate system total.

The inductance coils serve as intermediary sensing elements that indirectly measure the power consumption of individual equipment without requiring direct electrical connection to each device. The coils detect magnetic fields generated by equipment current draw and convert them into measurable signals for the controller.

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring individual equipment power consumption through inductance coils and providing this data back to the controller. The controller can then use this feedback information to identify inefficient equipment, adjust operating parameters, or alert users to abnormal power consumption patterns, enabling proactive energy management.

The system enables self-service energy management by automatically collecting, processing, and presenting power consumption data for individual equipment. This eliminates the need for manual meter reading or external monitoring devices, as the controller autonomously gathers and analyzes the data to provide actionable energy management insights.
