Solution for 2 phase system
Hello imeter club,
Looking to setup this product to monitor a 2-phase electrical system at my house. My utility provider has two line system installed.
Do I need to buy the 3-phase unit and only configure two sensors?
Also, what about extending the monitoring to a solar system installed at secondary panel 20 feet away, do I need another unit?
Thanks,
David
Hi David:
Does your system have a neutral line?
If so ,I think it is a single phase 3 wire system like this
https://www.iammeter.com/newsshow/single-phase-three-wires-system
The WEM3080T (3phase ,wifi) supports split phase usage, so you can use two phases of the WEM3080T to monitor your system.
Or you can also use the cost-effective method in the above link, that only one WEM3080(single phase,wifi) can also be used to monitor the single phase 3 wire system.

Hi:
The cost-effective mode may not be as accurate as the normal mode(use two phases of the 3 phase energy meter).
If possible, still recommend using a 3phase meter to measure the single-phase 3wires system.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, my system has a neutral line? With the cost-effective solution would I still be able to have no-directional readings?
