      I have four CT sensors that I need to run about 20 ft away into a sub panel. I have a roll of 18/7 furnace cable that should work to extend the black and white wires of each CT sensor.

      However, because I only have seven strands and four CT sensors, I’m wondering if the white wire from multiple CT sensors could be spliced to a single wire on the 18/7 cable, then split back out for the connections into the Vue box. This is common practice with irrigation controllers and other low voltage connections but couldn’t find anything about doing something similar with the Vue sensors.

      Hello @Maplestreethome each sensor does need its own dedicated netural.
