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.
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.
Yes. With a square wave, it was only a few percent off, which was most likely due to underdamping.
I take two measurements. 3 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter On the face of my computer, it is 8 inches wide.

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.
This is a great replacement. It has the appearance of being manufactured. Installing it was a breeze. The directions are clear.
Installation is simple and straightforward.
One of the coils and hardware were missing from one of the two I ordered.
This is my third.
It's accurate and simple to set up.
