Been using this for about a year and I have been having some problems believing the readings on this device. I was looking around for reviews but can't find much. I am seeing a difference of about 50% between readings on this device and readings on dedicated single core CT meterers. It will often show an initial reading of (for example) 1.7 amps and then drop to 0.2 amps. When I know the reading should be around 0.5-0.6A. Now I am using it at the very low end for metering the usage on individual servers. To be honest I am very dissapointed with it. The manual say > 80% accuracy at 23 degrees C but I am not seeing that.

Anybody else having issues, or have a recommendation for a better unit that can do metering on multicore cables?
