The answer depends on the type of CT.If it has an internal resistor which
converts the measuerment to a voltage, it is okay to clamp on live.If it is
purely a CT that outputs a different current to be measured, then they can
create an inductive kick ant shock and destroy.-GlennSent from my

Good luck trying to convince your customer that their house caught on fire
because of a manufacturers flaw, and you have no responsibility for it…
It may be an out to shift the blame, but it only makes everybody get some on

We have used Dwyer Instrument coils in the past. They detect AC current flow
and have contacts you can wire for operation of other circuitry. They have
quite a range of devices and you may find one suitable for your needs.
Good luck!

I have a client with an aging (dead) AGM (16x Concorde PVX-3050T) battery
bank with two Sunny Island 5048 inverters (and a few SB in the mix too) in a
GTWB configuration.
Has anyone successfully replaced an AGM battery bank with a LiFe ESS
