| 1. An electrical power meter comprising:
a housing for containing electrical circuitry for measuring power usage therein, the electrical circuitry including a digital
sampler configured for sampling at least one voltage waveform and at least one current waveform and a processor configured
to generate power consumption information from the at least one voltage and current waveforms;
wherein the housing includes at least one voltage input and at least one current input coupled to the digital sampler, the
at least one current input being configured as at least one passage extending entirely through the housing, wherein the at
least one passage is configured to receive at least one CT lead therethrough, and wherein said at least one CT lead extends
through the at least one passage of the housing un-connected to any electrical component of said electrical circuitry for
measuring power usage.
