Split core vs solid core - accuracy

Thanks for the quick response, and robust detail.

Having read a number of your replies here on the forum, it’s clear to me that you are passionate about the product and the user experience, and I both appreciate and admire that. (You also get kudos for incredible patience. I assume you have a dozen children.)

I just recently placed an order, and had intended to order solid core CT’s. Apparently my bleary eyes did not make out that the bundle only includes split core. I’m having my panel replaced in two days time, so it’s a perfect time for the solid core CTs, IF they’d produce an improvement in accuracy. (There’s also a size issue to a lesser degree, but I’m hoping I’ll be okay on that front.)

From your comment, the AccuCT 50A split core - according to the specs - should read more accurately than the solid core; the only benefit to the solid core would be smaller size. Is that correct?

I may still order some solid core, but my understanding is I’d either need to remove the split core CT’s, or short them at the audio jack - tape some bare wire along the plug? - to remove the IoTaWatt control unit for bench testing.

As you indicated, about to become a moot point in the near future, and I’m asking here only because I was completely stumped by finding guidance that wasn’t written by a Marketing dept anywhere else. Seems the OCD camp is limited to hobbyists in this regard.

I recognize that the price points aren’t enough for you to be doing this to get rich, so your taking the time to reply and share is because you care, and I appreciate that a lot.
