Gang,
I found the "donuts" in the bottom of the breaker box in the back of coach. They don't look like current transformers to me. More like an induction device like a hall sensor. They are little donuts that have the red and black heavy gauge wires running through them. Am I understanding this correctly?
The problem that I have is that the ammeters in coach don't work. My plan is to verify that the white/black and white red twisted pairs actually show up behind ammeters. If that is correct, I will replace both meters with ammeters that include their own coils with something like this and this. While I am at it, I may replace the volt meters for matching units.
Is this a good plan?
Gordon, I like your setup but would rather have two meters so that I can see L-1 and L-2 at same time.
Thanks!
