I am setting up my new Gen 2 Emporia Vue. I have an electric clothes dryer on a 2 poll 30 amp breaker. The dedicated electric line comes into the panel from the dryer outlet with 4 wires. White to neutral bar, ground to ground, red to 1 breaker input, and black to the other breaker input. I originally had a single 50A sensor around the red wire with a ×2 multiplier programmed in. I noticed when the dryer was running that the energy reading was going in and out. Dropping to 0 for a minute or two while the dryer was actually running. I’m still setting it up and have plenty of ports and sensors available so I did the following to troubleshoot. First I set the original dryer sensor multiplier to 1. From here until I figure this out, every multiplier related to the dryer will be set to 1.
I ran one additional 50A sensor to the red line, directly next to the one I put on originally. I put a single 50A sensor on the black wire. At this point I had the following inputs programmed into the Vue
Dryer Red
Dryer Red Redundant
Dryer Black
The first bit of info I was able to get is that when “Dryer Red” dropped down to 0 that “Dryer Red Redundant” dropped to 0 at the exact same moment. Okay, now that has been established we are dealing with 2 sensors.
Dryer Red
Dryer Black
The following shows exactly what happens. Note that the time stamps for Black and Red are the exact same, the watts are where it differs.
Black
2:28:59 2765 watts
2:29:00 1163 watts
2:30:00 228 watts
Red
2:28:59 2550 watts
2:29:00 940 watts
2:30:00 0 watts
Any ideas?
