Systems, devices, and methods for an monitoring power consumption of a known electronic device including: monitoring, by a monitoring device, a received input electrical power from the known electronic devices; determining a maximum measured power value of the monitored input electrical power; converting the determined maximum power value to a current value; determining if the converted current value is greater than the determined maximum measured power value; connecting to a remote computing device and obtaining access to communicate with the remote computing device via an authentication process; and transmitting data to the connected remote computing device if the determined converted current value is greater than zero.

Described embodiments generally relate to a method of determining power delivered by a cable, the method comprising receiving data related to a residual magnetic field produced by the cable; determining a proportionality factor relating the received data to the power delivered by comparing the residual magnetic field data to independently measured reference data related to the power delivered by the cable; and based on the proportionality factor, determining the power delivered by the cable.

A measurement circuit is arranged to make several measurements, either at different times or in respect of different frequency components of currents measured by current sensors in respective phases of a multiphase supply system. The measurements are then used to correct for discrepancies in the transfer function of the sensors.

Sections of a linear motor track can each include a single power sensor configured to detect a power current in an erroneous state and one or more reference sensors configured to detect reference currents in erroneous states. The power sensor can be arranged between multiple drive coils of a section and a DC power rail (or mid-bus) for the drive coils. The power sensor can produce a single isolated output to a processor for the section, and the processor, in turn, can compare the output to a threshold for determining an error. The one or more reference sensors can be arranged between lower switches and a DC-reference bus, thereby providing a DC-referenced sensing signal for the drive coil currents. By referencing the processor to the same rail as the DC-referenced current sensing circuit, the reference sensors can produce outputs to the processor without any need for isolation.

A personal mobile system for detecting unsafe electrical power levels. Magnetic sensors detect a magnitude of a magnetic field produced by a power line. A GPS determines the location of the detected the magnetic field. A distance from the location of the detected the magnetic field is determined. In response to determining that the magnitude of the detected magnetic field produced by the power line exceeds the stored electrical power level threshold, based on the determined distance, an alert module produces an alert on the personal mobile system.
