I am configuring the KC868-M30 to monitor a split-phase residential electrical system in the United States, which consists of two hot legs: L1 and L2 with a total of 30 spaces. I seek clarification on the assignment of the 30 CT clamp sensor inputs. Specifically, I would like to know if there is a required mapping between the sensor inputs and the two-phase legs. Should the inputs be organized as follows:
Or is it permissible to connect the CT clamps to any input channel, regardless of the phase they are monitoring, as long as the configuration in the software accurately reflects the phase association for each input?
Understanding the correct procedure is crucial for ensuring accurate phase identification and power calculations. Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your assistance.
- Inputs 1–10 assigned to Phase A (L1)
- Inputs 11–20 assigned to Phase B (L2)
- Inputs 21–30 left unassigned or used for other purposes
