AC and Dryer monitoring
Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2015 5:11 pm
I am sure I am doing something wrong and it is easy to fix. I just can't seem to determine what I am doing wrong. I have GEM and it is monitoring my main feed (on one channel) and all of my 120V circuits are all monitoring ok.
The problem I am having is with monitoring my AC and Dryer. The AC has a red wire and black wire on a two pole breaker. I have one CT on the red wire and another CT on the black wire. It is a 30 AMP two pole breaker. Each CT is micro40. I have both CTs plugged into one channel. White lead on both CTs plugged into terminal 2 and the Black lead on both CTs plugged into terminal 3. I am not getting anything but 1 watt out of these even when the AC is on. I don't get anything if I just plug one CT into channel. The dryer is the same way but on a different channel.
Any ideas? I am sure it is something simple.
Thanks,
Phil
