power.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Conventionally, a multi-circuit watt-hour meter has been provided,
which is capable of measuring, in a respective plurality of circuits, the
amounts of electric power individually (for example, see JP2005-55404A).
This multi-circuit watt-hour meter includes a voltage-measuring circuit, a
plurality of current-measuring circuits, and a power amount arithmetic
processing circuit. The voltage-measuring circuit is configured to measure
a common voltage applied to each of the plurality of circuits. Each of the
plurality of current-measuring circuits is configured to measure a current
flowing through a measuring point in each of the plurality of circuits, based
on an output of a current transformer that is coupled to the measuring point.
The power amount arithmetic processing circuit is configured to calculate
the amount of electric power in each of the plurality of circuits, based on the
voltage measured by the voltage-measuring circuit and the current
measured by each of the plurality of current-measuring circuit. Those
circuits are mounted on a circuit substrate, and the circuit substrate is
2
housed in a box-shaped housing.
[0003] In this multi-circuit watt-hour meter, plural connectors are arranged
side by side on one lateral surface of the housing, and are electrically
connected to the respective current-measuring circuits. Connectors, which
are connected to respective current transformers, are respectively connected
to the corresponding plural connectors arranged on the housing side, and
accordingly, it is possible to measure the current flowing through each of the
plurality of circuits.
[0004] However, in the above-mentioned multi-circuit watt-hour meter, the
plural connectors are merely arranged side by side. Therefore, it is hard for
a worker or a maintenance inspector to determine a corresponding connector
that is a connection destination, and much time is required for a connecting
work.

meter, when the plurality of connecting parts are defined as one connecting
group, a plurality of connecting groups are arranged at the main body so as
to be divided into plural sets, each of which includes a prescribed number of
connecting groups.
[0007] According to this invention, the plurality of connecting groups are
arranged so as to be divided into the plural sets, each of which includes the
prescribed number of connecting groups. Accordingly, a worker or a
maintenance inspector can easily determine a connection destination when
connecting a current transformer, and therefore, the workability can be
improved.
[0008] In one embodiment, preferably, the plurality of connecting groups are
arranged in a plurality of recesses that are provided in the main body so that
the plurality of recesses respectively correspond to the plural sets, each of
4
which includes the prescribed number of connecting groups.
[0009] According to this embodiment, the plurality of connecting groups are
arranged in the plurality of recesses so that the plurality of recesses
respectively correspond to the plural sets, each of which includes the
prescribed number of connecting groups. Accordingly, the worker or the
maintenance inspector can easily determine the connection destination when
connecting the current transformer, and therefore, the workability can be
improved.
[0010] In one embodiment, preferably, the plurality of connecting groups are
arranged through a plurality of partitioning walls that are provided at the
main body so that the plurality of partitioning walls respectively correspond
to the plural sets, each of which includes the prescribed number of
connecting groups.
[0011] According to this embodiment, the plurality of connecting groups are
arranged through the plurality of partitioning walls so that the plurality of
partitioning walls respectively correspond to the plural sets, each of which
includes the prescribed number of connecting groups. Accordingly, the
worker or the maintenance inspector can easily determine the connection
destination when connecting the current transformer, and therefore, the
workability can be improved.
[0012] In one embodiment, preferably, the power meter further includes an
identification part for identifying each of the plurality of connecting groups
that are divided into the plural sets, each of which includes the prescribed
number of connecting groups.
5
[0013] According to this embodiment, through providing the identification
part, the worker or the maintenance inspector can easily determine a
connecting group of the connection destination when connecting the current
transformer, and therefore, the workability can be more improved.
[0014] In one embodiment, preferably, each of the plurality of connecting
groups includes a connector as a part of the plurality of connecting parts.
Any one of the connector and a current transformer side’s connector, which is
provided from a side of a corresponding current transformer to be connected
to the connector, is preferably provided with an operation part for releasing a
connection state of the connector and the current transformer side’s
connector. The power meter preferably further includes a displaying part,

movably in the vertical direction.
[0025] The cover 22 is provided at a central part of a front surface thereof
with a projecting base part 23 integrally that is formed into a rectangular
shape and projects forward. The cover 22 is provided, in a portion thereof
11
above the projecting base part 23, with a plurality of recesses 22A (two
recesses in the present embodiment) that are arranged along the lateral
direction. In each recess 22A, a plurality of connectors 3 (three connectors
in the present embodiment) and a plurality of screw terminals 4 (six screw
terminals in the present embodiment) are stored. In a state where the
connectors 3 and the screw terminals 4 are stored in the recesses 22A,
connection faces (functional faces) of the connectors 3 and screws 4a of the
screw terminals 4 are exposed through rectangular-shaped opening parts
22D formed on the side of the front surfaces of the recesses 22A. Further, in
the state, wire insertion holes 4b of the screw terminals 4 are exposed
through rectangular-shaped opening parts 22B formed in upper side surfaces
of the recesses 22A.
[0026] The cover 22 is provided, in a portion thereof below the projecting
base part 23, with a recess 22A in which a plurality of connectors 3 (three
connectors in the present embodiment) and a plurality of screw terminals 4
(six screw terminals in the present embodiment) are stored. In a state
where the connectors 3 and the screw terminals 4 are stored in the recess

12
each surface in the present embodiment) that are arranged along the lateral
direction, with which the respective projections 21A on the side of the body
21 are engaged. The cover 22 is attached to the body 21 by engaging each
projection 21A with a corresponding hole 22C.
[0027] Here, the procedure for coupling an extension unit 2 is described.
When a new extension unit 2 is made to be close, from the right side, to the
main unit 1 or an another extension unit 2 already added, a projection 21C
that is provided at an end of each coupling piece 21B is inserted into a
corresponding groove 11D or groove 21D. Then, when each projection 21C
is engaged with an opening edge of the corresponding groove 11D or groove
21D, the new extension unit 2 is coupled to the main unit 1 or the another
extension unit 2 (see Fig. 4). In a state where coupling of the extension unit
2 to the main unit 1 is completed, the groove 11E and groove 21E constitute a
single coupled groove, as shown in Fig. 4.
[0028] On the other hand, in a case where the extension unit 2 is removed,
when both coupling pieces 21B and 21B are bent in a direction where they
approach each other (that is, the vertical direction), the engaging state of
each projection 21C with the corresponding groove 11D or groove 21D is
released. While this state is kept, the extension unit 2 is moved to the right
side (a direction where the extension unit 2 is separated from the main unit 1
or the another extension unit 2), and accordingly, the removal of the
extension unit 2 is completed.
[0029] Further, respective connection connectors (not shown) for providing
power supply and transmitting electric signals are provided on a right side
13
surface of the main unit 1, a left side surface of the extension unit 2 disposed
in the right end, and both of right and left side surfaces of the extension unit
2 disposed in the middle. In a state where coupling the plurality of
extension units 2 to the main unit 1 is completed, the power supply is
provided from the main unit 1 to each extension unit 2, and further the
electric signals (such as arithmetic results) are transmitted from each
extension unit 2 to the main unit 1.
[0030] Fig. 5 is a circuit configuration drawing illustrating a main part of
the main unit 1 or each extension unit 2. Each of the main unit 1 and the
extension units 2 actually includes a plurality of current-measuring parts 14.
However, because the plurality of current-measuring parts 14 have the same
configurations, only one current-measuring part 14 is shown in the drawing
and the remaining parts are omitted.
[0031] Each of the main unit 1 and the extension units 2 includes: the
plurality of current-measuring parts 14, each of which is configured to
measure a current flowing through a circuit to which a current transformer
17A or 17B is attached; a voltage-measuring parts 16 configured to measure
a voltage applied in the above-mentioned circuit; and a power arithmetic
part 15 configured to calculate power consumption in the above-mentioned
circuit. Each current-measuring part 14 includes: a series circuit composed
of a load resistor 141 (for example, 2.0Ω) and a shunt resistor 142 (for
example, 1mΩ); and an adder circuit 143. One end of the load resistor 141
(an opposite side of the load resistor 141 from a point of connecting with the
shunt resistor 142) is connected to an input terminal of the adder circuit 143.
14
An other end of the shunt resistor 142 (an opposite side of the shunt resistor
142 from a point of connecting with the load resistor 141) is connected to
ground GND.
[0032] The one end of the load resistor 141 and the other end of the shunt
resistor 142 are connected to the above-mentioned connector 3. Both ends
of the shunt resistor 142 are respectively connected to the wire insertion
holes 4b of the screw terminal 4. The current transformer 17A for detecting
a relatively low current is connected to the connector 3, and the current
transformer 17B for detecting a relatively high current is connected to the
screw terminal 4. That is, the respective current transformers 17A and 17B
having different measuring ranges are connected to the connector 3 and
screw terminal 4. The power arithmetic part 15 is configured to calculate
power consumption based on a current value that is measured by each
current-measuring part 14 and a voltage value that is measured by the
voltage-measuring parts 16. For example, an arithmetic result obtained by
the extension unit 2 is transmitted to the main unit 1 through the
above-mentioned connection connector.
[0033] Here, in the present embodiment, a plurality of connecting parts are
configured by connectors 3 and screw terminals 4, and further, one
connecting group is configured by one connector 3 and two screw terminals 4.
In each recess 12A of the cover 12 or each recess 22A of the cover 22, three
connecting groups (a prescribed number of connecting groups) are disposed
(see Fig. 1). Accordingly, a worker or a maintenance inspector can easily
determine a connection destination when connecting the current transformer
15
17A or 17B, and therefore, the workability can be improved.
[0034] Fig. 6(a) is an enlarged view illustrating a main part of another
example of the power meter according to the present embodiment. In this
example, the plurality of connecting groups are arranged through a plurality
of partitioning walls 12F or 22F that are provided at the unit main body 10
or 20 so that the plurality of partitioning walls respectively correspond to
plural sets, each of which includes the prescribed number of connecting
groups. Because components other than this are similar to those of the
above-mentioned power meter, such components are assigned with same
reference numerals, and explanations thereof will be omitted.
[0035] A power meter according to this example includes a main unit 1 and
an extension unit 2. The main unit 1 includes a unit main body (main body)
10. The unit main body 10 is composed of a body (not shown) and a cover 12.
The extension unit 2 includes a unit main body (main body) 20. The unit
main body 20 is composed of a body (not shown) and a cover 22. The
plurality of partitioning walls 12F and 22F are respectively provided, at the
cover 12 of the main unit 1 and the cover 22 of the extension unit 2, so that
each partitioning wall surrounds a corresponding set that includes the
prescribed number of connecting groups (three connecting groups in this
example) (each connecting group is configured by one connector 3 and two
screw terminals 4 in this example). Because Fig. 6(a) is the enlarged view
illustrating the main part of the power meter, only one partitioning wall 12F
(or 22F) is shown in the drawing. However, the plurality of partitioning
walls 12F (or 22F) are actually provided, and the prescribed number of
16
connecting groups are disposed so as to be surrounded by each partitioning
wall 12F (or 22F). Accordingly, a worker or a maintenance inspector can
easily determine a connection destination when connecting the current
transformer 17A or 17B, and therefore, the workability can be improved.
[0036] As shown in Fig. 6(a), in this example, a respective plurality of labels
(numbers 1 to 3 in Fig. 6(a)) are further provided for the plurality of
connecting groups. It is possible to identify each connecting group through
those labels. Accordingly, a worker or a maintenance inspector can easily
determine each connecting group when connecting the current transformer
17A or 17B, and therefore, the workability can be improved. Here, such a
label, which corresponds to an identification part, is not limited to a numeral,
and may be a character or the like. Alternatively, the plurality of
connecting groups may be distinguished by color, or identified by providing a
partitioning wall between the connecting groups.
[0037] Fig. 6(b) is a schematic drawing illustrating a connector 18 on the
side of the current transformer 17A, which is inserted in and connected to a
connector 3 of the power meter according to the present embodiment. This
connector 18 is a synthetic resin molded product for example, and is
integrally provided with an elastic piece 18d that is movably displaced in the
vertical direction. The elastic piece 18d is provided at an end thereof with a
projection 18b that is engaged with a groove (not shown) on the side of a
corresponding connector 3 when the connector 18 is inserted into the
corresponding connector 3. Further, the elastic piece 18d is provided at a
back end thereof with a projection 18a that is operated when the connector
17
18 inserted in and connected to the connector 3 is removed. When the
connector 18 inserted in and connected to the connector 3 is removed, the
engaging state of the projection 18b with the groove is released by pushing
the projection 18a, and the connector 18 can be removed by pulling out the
connector 18 while this state is kept. In addition, a displaying part 18c (a
number 1 in this example) is provided near the elastic piece 18d.
Accordingly, a worker or a maintenance inspector can easily determine a
connecting group of a connection destination when connecting the current
transformer 17A, and therefore, the workability can be improved. In the
present embodiment, the projection 18a provided at the elastic piece 18d
corresponds to an operation part.
[0038] In the present embodiment, one main unit 1 and two extension units
2 constitute the power meter. However, the configuration of the power
meter is not limited to the present embodiment. Only the main unit 1 may
constitute the power meter. Alternatively, the main unit 1, and one or three
or more extension units 2 added to the main unit 1 may constitute the power
meter. In the present embodiment, the power meter was described, using a
case of a three-phase four-wire system, as an example of a distribution
system. In this case, because currents through a U phase, a V phase and a
W phase are required to be detected individually, the prescribed number is
set to 3. However, for example, when a single-phase three-wire system is
used as the distribution system, only currents through two phases are
required to be detected, and accordingly, the prescribed number may be set to
2. That is, the prescribed number is not limited to the present embodiment,
18
and may be arbitrarily set. The plurality of connecting groups are arranged
so as to be divided into the plural sets, each of which includes the prescribed
number of connecting groups, and accordingly, a worker or a maintenance
inspector can easily determine a connection destination when connecting a
current transformer.
[0039] Further, in the present embodiment, the displaying part 18c of the
connector 18 was described using a case of a numeral, as an example.
However, the displaying part is not limited to the present embodiment, and
may be configured with color or character. Further, in the present
embodiment, the displaying part is provided on the connector side of the
current transformer. However, the displaying part may be provided on the
connector side of the power meter.
[0040] Although the present invention has been described with reference to
certain preferred embodiments, numerous modifications and variations can
be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit
and scope of this invention, namely claims.
