Zusammenfassung:A modular sensor array has a housing at least one current sensor in the housing responsive to a current in an electrical conductor for developing a corresponding current signal and at least one voltage signal producing circuit in the housing for developing a voltage signal corresponding to a voltage present on an electrical conductor. A connector mounted on housing is configured for engagement with a mating connector of an external measurement device. A circuit delivers the current and voltage signals to the connector. A metering module has a housing, a metering circuit in the housing for receiving and processing at least one signal corresponding to an electrical quantity, and developing an output signal. A connector mounted to the said housing is coupled to the metering circuit, and configured for engagement with a mating connector at least one of a sensor array module and a mounting and connection base. Mounting structure is provided on the housing for removably mounting the housing to at least one of a sensor array module and a mounting and connection base. A mounting and connection base for a measurement device has a housing, first connectors on the housing for receiving a signal from a current sensor corresponding to a current in an electrical conductor and second connectors means on the housing for receiving a signal from a voltage sensor corresponding to a voltage in an electrical conductor. A circuit in the housing delivers voltage and current signals received at the first and second connectors to a further connector mounted on the housing. First and second mounting structures are provided for mounting the housing to a surface and for mounting a removable metering module.
