Overview
The Tesla Remote Energy Meter Kit with 2 CTs is a device used to monitor electricity usage in a home by measuring voltage and current at specific points in the electrical system. It is typically used in conjunction with a Tesla Powerwall system, where the "2 CTs" refer to two current transformers that measure the current flowing through two separate circuits within the home, allowing for detailed monitoring of energy consumption on different branches of the electrical system.
Applications
This kit is often used to:
- Monitor the energy consumption of a home's solar production.
- Track the power usage of specific circuits when paired with a Tesla Powerwall system.
By measuring both voltage and current, the kit calculates energy usage with precision.
