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 'smar

Good luck trying to convince your customer that their house caught on fire

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!

If they dont need revenue grade measurements, I recommend the Sense monitoring
unit.I have had one in my house for years and it is inexpensive and gives me at

install a breaker for power and connect it to their WiFi.
I did a Sunrotor pump last year and it works well. They were also very helpful
