  Hello – I bought: https://shop.emporiaenergy.com/collections/commercial-energy-devices/products/gen-2-3-phase-emporia-vue-with-16-sensors-bundle today. It will arrive in a week or two.
  
  Here is my fusebox. 3 x 63 amp 3 phase mains.
  
  I’m thinking that the I would simply install most of the 16 x 50 amp sensors on the positive red wires(paying attention to the arrow direction) but the mains I am unclear on this.
  
  Would I put the 2 x 200A clamps on 2 of the mains. Or do I need a 3rd one? (NOTE: A 3rd one wasn’t available as a bundle option in the amazon shop).
  
  Please don’t hesitate to point out my ignorance as I am very happy to learn.

  For a 3 phase system, you need 3 x 200A CTs on the 3 mains (3 live phases of power you have coming from the grid). We sell the 3 phase monitor here, and they already come with 3 clamps for the mains: https://shop.emporiaenergy.com/collections/commercial-energy-devices
  
  And single/split phase monitors here and they come with 2 x 200A CTs for the mains: https://shop.emporiaenergy.com/collections/emporia-products

  Thank you very much. I have the 2 x 200 amp units and thankfully Ryan from support gave me a good solution where i can use a 50amp CT clamp and a 0.25 multiplier for the 63 amp wire which will not go over the 73 amp max amps of the 50 amp ct clamp. Can’t wait for this to arrive.

  Hi – I recieved the Vue 2 and am confused as to the Wire Harness connector. Should I install on the 3 phase wires or using the 15amp breakers?
