Determining energy usage of a residence based on current monitoring
Systems and methods include determining energy usage of a residence from a current that flows through a first main conductor and a second main conductor that transport the current into the residence. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sensors (130a-b) that monitor magnetic fields (150a-b) generated by the first and second main conductors (120a-b). After a resistive load (210a-b) is added for an electrical path in the residence, the first and second magnetic fields (150a-b) may be converted to generate first and second calibrating currents. A first prototype current is corrected to eliminate the influence of the second magnetic field (150b) onto the first magnetic field (150a) and a second prototype current is corrected to eliminate the influence of the first magnetic field (150a) onto the second magnetic field (150b). The energy usage of the residence is determined from the corrected currents.
Resonant electromagnetic sensor and inspection system
The present device relates to a sensor capable of detecting changes in the electromagnetic field it generates when in proximity to either conductive or nonconductive materials. This occurs by way of oscillating a transmit coil with an electro motive force at a resonant frequency thus creating an electromagnetic field. The magnetic field passes through a target of either conductive or nonconductive material and is then intercepted by a receive coil which likewise oscillates at a resonant frequency, which when in proximity to the transmit coil and transmit coils resonant frequency produces an enhanced signal by way of the interaction of the respective resonant frequencies and receive coil output.
