    Monitoring house hold energy with CTs

    sorry I mis read your post about monitoring L2 and L2. I do take the measured KWH and divide it by 2 to get the actual use. This brings up another question. Since half of the 8 circuits are just off L1 ,(110 volt circuits) that just happen to be on the same leg, for that appartment. My .5...

    I use KWH meters on my apartments to keep track of tenents electric usage. I have one unit that is not on a seperate sub-panel. Is it possible to connect a CT on each of the 8 circuits used for the one tenent space and wire all these Current Tranformers in series for each phase? This should give...
