    Hi! Happy to be wrong about the 2 phase vs 3 phase thing. Thanks for checking out the photo!

    In terms of the rest of the details, I followed the instructions very carefully. The reason I chose B and C is because of this photo in the instructions:

     

    You’ll notice that this photo is oriented with the top of the Vue at the bottom of the picture. Specifically, if you were to be looking at the back of the Vue, A is to the left and C is to the right, which means that in this picture in the instructions, two 200A CT sensors are hooked up to B and C. Since the instructions didn’t specifically specify A and B, I went with the picture. But okay, I swapped to A and B as you suggest. It appears to not matter.

    In terms of connecting the red and black wires to a double pole breaker, here your advice directly contradicts the official instructions for my case (no empty breaker, two 200A CTs), see below:

    Your thoughts?

    I will post a photo when I can safely shut down the panel and open it up again hopefully later today, but in the meantime, is it possible for me to get the benefit of the doubt for the original question?

    To answer some questions:
    * No, I did not install this in a subpanel. I do have three panels, two are subpanels, and the panel I installed this in is not one of the two subpanels.
    * I am in Northern Michigan.

    Assuming my description is accurate (I still believe it is), is it safe to install a 2 phase Vue on a 3 phase system the way I did? It does work the way I described it for 3 phase systems with the Sense (https://help.sense.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043157054-Learn-more-Three-phase-installation).
