      After several months online, I feel like my readings are wrong so I think I must have the setup wrong.
      I have a Gen 2 Emporia. The panel is fed with 100 amps, single phase, 120/240v. Device management for the main panel circuit is set to 1.00 multiplier. As pictured (attached) I have the two 200A CTs clamped to the main feeds with arrow towards breakers.
      However, after setting my actual utility rate, my “Cost of Energy Use” with “Mo” selected is around $3.20. It should be 100 times that because of the load on it 24/7.
      Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
      200A CTs

      The CTs appear to be installed properly.   How many KWh do you see and what’s your setting for utility rate?

      kWh is 5.5 and rate is set to $0.06 (rounded up from $0.058). I’m measuring equipment (ASIC miners) that’s running at 3.3kWh per machine with 5 machines so I’m expecting to see much higher numbers.

      Thank you for your reply!

      5.5kwh seems low for a month.  Perhaps try turning on or off some loads and see look at the real-time data to see if it makes sense.
