Question 1

Does anybody make one of these that allows monitoring two circuits with two ct's, and just toggle the display?

Accepted Answer

I bought two meters and hooked up the coils to my wires coming from my generator feed to my double pole breaker , then I bought two more coils on eBay and put them on my main feed .Soldered the coils from both feeds to a four double pole mini switches so when the switches were in the up position the meters read the house power (normal power) When the four switches are in the down position I would monitor the generator feed when using the generator during a power outage.Wasn’t sure if the switches were necessary or if I could just parallel the coils from the a Phase and the ones feeding the b phase but used the switches to separate the coils from each other just in case. Works perfect this way.Now I can monitor normal power or generator power with just two meters.

Question 2

Does this record the amount of power used over a period of time?

Accepted Answer

It records watt-hours, but not time. If you want to know how much power was used over, say 30 days, you must manually note when you first began monitoring the circuit. This can be as simple as taking a picture of the display with your phone, which will of course time/date stamp your picture.

One added benefit, it will retain watt-hours even if power is lost. It is not cleared until you manually clear it with the button to the right of the display.

Question 3

Does the meter display values up to the test values or main specifications? (ie. rated up to 100 amps, but displays only up to 5 amps)

Accepted Answer

(What are you connecting this too?)

You’ll get what ever the AMP value from the watts divided by voltage. 
Watts / voltage = amps

Im running 3500 watts at 240v = 14.5 amps (this is shown on my display)

If you are only seeing 5 amps, then your wattage is only around 600w on 120v circuit.

Hope this helps

Question 4

Has anyone found a solution to read these meters remotely (via Bluetooth or WiFi?

Accepted Answer

Set up a wifi camera, point it at the meter ;-).  Without significant skill in micro-electronics there isn't any other way.
