According to Emporia support, it’s possible to connect the 50A CT’s to the 1-16 ports with a 3.5 to 2.5 mm adapter and adjusting the multiplier to 4.  My plan is to not use the A, B, C ports at all and just monitor the mains and other loads independently.  For total usage, I can refer to the Mains and for individual loads, I can use the load CT’s.  Any issues with this setup?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion to wire the CT’s in series.  As an alternative, is it possible to use an additional 200a CT’s and plug it into the regular (1 – 16) inputs? I know the software won’t know to aggregate each breaker CT under the correct 200a CT, but this way, I can still monitor total usage of both panels. Will this work?  Or just plug all four 200a CT’s into the 1-16 jacks so they are all represented the same in software.

Also, I see there is also a 3 phase Vue 2 unit available. That will come with 3 200a CT’s. Can I use a fourth 200a CT and plug that into one of the regular jacks to monitor my fourth line? I don’t know if the 3 phase Vue is set to 208V or not which is typical 3 phase service. My service is 120/240. Thank you.
