Hello all,
Haven't posted here in a while but came up with a problem. I have a temporary 60 amp subpanel that I put on the front porch every year for my christmas display. I have a Bayite digital panel meter to measure current, voltage, power, etc. The problem I am having is getting it to measure split phase current. I want to measure both legs and it display the current of both legs on one meter. I do have two identical CTs but no matter how I wire them, I can't get it to display the total load. When I plug two strands of lights that draw 1 amp into each phase, the meter measures about 1.75 amps. Should be showing 2 amps. Any ideas on how I can get this to work?
Thank you,
Joe M
