Install the current transformers (CTs), the sensor clamps that let the system measure energy flowing in and out of the home.

Clamp each CT around a single hot conductor with the arrow pointing toward the source of power. Direction matters, and it's confirmed during setup.

Key steps

  • Clamp each CT around only one hot conductor
  • Point the arrow toward the source of power
  • Main service CTs point toward the utility
  • Confirm each CT's direction in the app during setup

Part of the Kora Smart Panel installation series for licensed electricians installing the Kora Founders Edition. Previous: 2.5 Landing the Branch Breakers. Next: 2.8 Network Connection: Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
