Questions & Answers

Is it possible to connect these in series without a shunt?

Yes, you don't need a shunt at all. Simply run the wire through a current transformer to get the reading. The only drawback to this setup is that, as a current transformer, it can only work with AC current. Any DC setup will not work with this device.

Is it possible to mount this in a panel?

I did. It was necessary to use a hole saw to drill a hole and holes for the mounting screws, but this was relatively simple to accomplish.

Is it possible to accurately measure modified sine wave electricity with this device?

Yes. With a square wave, it was only a few percent off, which was most likely due to underdamping.

What are the actual dimensions of the item? Is it possible that the item displays numbers that are larger than the box's?

I take two measurements. 3 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter On the face of my computer, it is 8 inches wide.

Selected User Reviews For DC Distribution Panel

It will only provide you with a reasonable estimate of the current
4/5

This statement is incorrect. It will only provide you with a reasonable estimate of the current. I decided to see if I could figure out why my meter reads 17 amps when my fluke amp probe reads 20. br> The issue was with the meter movement, which I discovered. It couldn't be repaired, but I needed an amp meter that I could mount remotely without having to run a long length of current carrying wire to connect in series with an amp meter. That criterion is met by this instrument. So I decided to take a chance and order another one in the hopes that it would work. I was fortunate this time. The meter functions properly and reads very close to what my Fluke meter indicates it should. This meter's ability to be mounted from afar is fantastic. The current transformer's short leads can be extended up to 50 feet, according to the instructions. On my setup, the distance between the current transformer and the meter is about 7 feet, and everything works fine. Now I am content.
