I'm new to this forum, and this is my first post.
My service panels are set into the wall. I brought the CT wires out of the enclosure, with the intent of leading them to the ECM-1240s. The wires go through a strain relief (not shown on the picture) and are attached to the wall with cable ties, but I'm still uncertain if the need to be in conduit - they just don't seem right to be so exposed.
Should the ECM-1240s be in an ABS service box (instead of simply mounted to the wall), and should the wire leads be routed to the service box in conduit? The service panels/ECMs are in a relatively sheltered part of a garage, but still in a garage.
Thanks.

The signal from the CTs are all very low voltage isolated signals; therefore, it comes down more to personal preference and a cleaner install.
