I am not getting any readings from my AC Current Sensor on my Easy Solar 2 GX. The CT Clamp is over a Live wire that is under ~1Kw load in the CU when testing. The Dip Switches are Set but I’m not sure if this is right The CT Clamp wires are wired into the Current Sense Bottom two inputs I set Ext…

I think it is worth giving Aux 2 a try. I tried Aux 1 and it didn’t work, but I can’t recall what the problem was. If you do switch you will need to change the values in the Assistant and do a hard reboot. I presume that you have set the DIP switches with 1, 2 & 3 in the up position. The solar ge…

I switched to Aux 2 and will head up to do a hard reboot now. Answers inline [image] Tony Jarvis: You have a normal CT to measure the AC load as shown in the photo in @M_Lange post above (simple blue clamp type) ← I only have the CT Clamp on the test AC circuit to measure AC load. I don’t h…

Sorry about the quality of photos: [image] [image] No load: [image] Load: [image] The CT Clamp is on the circuit I’m generating Load on (Fan heater). Thanks!

I think we need to step back a little bit on understanding your configuration. Can you give a brief description of what you actually have configured: IE in my case: 4kWp Solar panels feeding a SMA inverter that is directly connected to Grid. Multiplus 2 48V 5000W, charging 16kWh Seplos Battery a…

THE CT YOU HAVE IS ONLY TO MEASURE PV POWER, IT IS NOT FOR LOADS!!! You can’t use it the way you want to use it!!! Read the manual of all the components you have!!! For ESS read the ESS manual: https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/Energy_Storage_System/en/index-en.html

@M_Lange That is my late realisation. He isn’t trying to achieve the configuration that I have. :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth: He needs a normal CT (Doesn’t have to be a Victron one) connected to current sense. The Assistant isn’t required - that is for PV. That was the part that led …

@johnyma22 I am guessing that you are just trying to measure the incoming AC. If that is the case switch to a standard CT clipped around your mains incomer. Connect to Current Sense (com & Ext) as per my photo and remove the AC Current Sensor Assistant. Still leave the tick out of the External Cu…

@teejay If I have to measure incoming / outgoing AC to make the inverter provide power to consumers then that is what I’ll do. I assume there is no way to set the EasySolar to always output a given Wattage irrespective of consumption? I do have an ET112 here and some Cat6 to run the RS485 over so …

@johnyma22 As per the manual if your Inverter is in Grid Parallel mode you must have the AC CT in place. As per Appendix A (K) You remove the bridge between Int and Common and then connect up the external CT between Ext/Com. Because the link has been removed the device still considers the “Externa…

[image] Tony Jarvis: I am not sure why you would want to output a given Wattage. It’s because I have a known base load amount of power that is consumed by the property ~800W so I know if I put out the 500W from the Victron unit then that is always consumed by the base load. The rest of the l…
