CT clamps
Current transformer (CT) clamps allow for a fast and easy installation when the electric distribution panel is close to the EV charger install location. The CT clamps are put on the entry power lines in the distribution box and measure the total house load going through them, providing the direct info to the EV charger. The only limit is the distance from the EV charger to the electric panel, as the reading accuracy decreases with distance. We recommend keeping it under 15 meters, however it can be extended up to 100 meters with quality wiring, clean installation and proper tests.
