Zusammenfassung:In a load monitoring unit capable of monitoring power usage of an electrical device, a method of detecting a possible security breach is described herein. In one arrangement, the method can include the steps of setting a power threshold in the load monitoring unit in which the power threshold corresponds to the electrical device and monitoring power usage of the electrical device through the load monitoring unit. The method can also include the step of generating a security breach signal if the power usage of the electrical device reaches the power threshold.
