How to wire !!!!?? No matter how i wire this device i keep getting .9 watts and .001amps. When a load is put on the volts drop from 120v to 117v but nothing else moves.  The instrument should be reading 1500 watts and about 12 amps draw. Are these items just defective?

Ive plugged my wires directly into the wall, ive run the LIVE wire through the current transformer and the NEUTRAL to the device. Am i reading the directions wrong?

Hello Adam,

Would you like to tell us what kind of load is connected? Is it only with one live wire?

If possilbe, would you like to show us your connection? We hope to check where the wires goes to. If it is hard to show that by images, you may try to darw a simple diagram.

Best regards,

DROK

Hello Adam,

It seems you are monitoring the current drawing by meter instead of load.

Please let one of load wires goes through the current sensor. For any more questions, please let us know.
