Maximum number of Micro40s that can be chained together?

Post by ayates » Tue Nov 10, 2020 2:43 pm

I have 11 120V 15A circuits, that feed into my lighting system. I would like an aggregate measurement of the power. Is there a maximum number of Micro40 CTs that can be chained together, going into a single channel?


Thanks,

Allan.

Thanks,

Each CT you add in parallel may increase the error. We recommend no more then 4 fed directly into the terminal strip. The most we've tried is 6 spliced externally.
