All connections are made at my breaker panel : WFCO WF-8930/50

Switches cut power to the meters, I really don't the usefulness of this mod. But with Covid , I was bored. LOL

I should be able to monitor load when running on Generator... (rare)

A very cool and low cost mod. I'm a measurement geek, and anything that loads me up with data is just fine by me. I don't recommend most people go poking around in the back of their power panel, unless they are like you and know what they are doing.

I have tons of stuff monitored on my 5er. All available on the internet. Here is my blog on my monitor system.

I out a set of these in for monitoring power and usage. I refer to them frequently because something that starts taking more power is usually an issue.

They are easy to install (mine were) because they use clip on instead of needing to be hard wired.
