Solar panels and house consumptions measurement

Hello all

I want to measure the power generated by my solar panels array and the power used by my house.

For the solar panels is easy I used a current measuring coil in the solar panels faze wire.

For the house consumption I need to see the house input faze plus the panels faze in the same clamp and then subtract the faze of solar.

Can I put 2 wires at the same time in one current clamp?

Thanks

Yes, you can do that. But the direction the wires go through is important. If the currents flow in the same direction, they add, if they flow in opposite directions, they subtract.

What are you using to measure the current? If you have an emonTx and emonBase, or an emonPi, or emonCMS, you can add and subtract power in software.

Make certain that the current transformer is not a tight fit on the wires. If you force the current transformer closed, you might break the brittle ferrite core, and then the transformer will be useless.
