I'd get the 120 v/ 15 A  adapter, your customer probably already has one, and then you can plug the Killowatt into that. Otherwise, I've made up cables with the outer jacket removed, so I can put a clamp meter on the individual hots.   A third option would be to wire an old utility electric met

Hi all I’ve got someone who wants to power their 5th wheel RV. Yeah yeah I know. I’m looking for a 240vac/ 50 amp measuring device kinda like a kill a watt for the RV plug. So I can get some real numbers for design. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for such a device?

Ron What is the primary goal? To get more power on your loads? To get more grid export? I have installed a bunch of outback products and you can’t beat the surge capacity and longevity. As you well know. Solark has an excellent grid zero feature with CTs. Outback and Solark both will work wi
