The collar includes a fused disconnect, a controller, an EV connector inlet, a relay, a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) current transformer, and first and second current transformers. The fused disconnect provides an external switch and external fuses. The EV connector inlet has a plurality of insulated receptacles to receive pins of an untethered EV cable. The relay is coupled between the fused disconnect and the EV connector inlet and is controlled by the controller. The GFCI current transformer is coupled between the relay and the EV connector inlet to detect ground faults during EV charging. The first and the second current transformers are to measure current utilized during EV charging.

A circuit is provided for energy metering and surge current detection. It uses a current transformer. A first current sensing arrangement is connected to the secondary side of the transformer for energy metering and a second current sensing arrangement is connected to the secondary side, with a high pass filter, for surge current detection. A single component is thus able to provide energy metering and surge detection.
