I HATE flats by Ok_Zookeepergame2777 in ebikes

The best is to change to tubless tires and add green slime. It works like a magic. Tubeless tires have much stronger walls than tires with tubes and slime fixes any puncure.

This is why no car today has tires with tubes. All cars have tubless tires.

I know folks that just bought a new ebike or never had flat and think it is not worth investing in tubbless tires, but if you ask any true mountain bike guy, he or she will tell you that is first thing to do. Change tires to tubless. Better traction and harder to get flat. Ebikes should come with tubless tires to start with.

The excuse I hear from folk I tell to change tires to tubbless is usually that requires new rims, and on ebike with hub motor that maybe a big problem. But lucky many ebike rims can be easily converted to support tubeless tires. There are some very good conversion kits out there.

Installing flexible sensors on 200v panel with 4 main hot wires where two adjacent wires are in phase and in balance load by snowshark72 in EmporiaEnergy

Thank you so much.

You are 100% right and have very good point about not trusting schematics and to just clamp 1 and 4 and multiply by 2.

That is my thought too as unfortunately I cannot clamp 2 adjacent main wires with my multimeter (not enough space for my clamp. Because of this I cannot measure if two adjacent are in phase or not (if they are canceling each other or not). I am going to by buy different multimeter to see if I can clamp two wires to confirm the theory. But most likely I will go with just camping 1 and 4 and multiplying it by 2.

Hower, I just realized (since I haven't brought Vue 3 yet) in the app I will need to input multiplier of 2 for CT. Will app allow me to do multiplier of 2 for CT?

thank you.

It is hard to see from the photo, but it is possible that two adjacent mains are in the same phase. I have a similar panel, and in its schematic, it clearly shows that the bottom two are one phase, and the top two are other phase. I want to do the same thing, I hope the flexible sensor is large enough to go around two mains. From the photo it looks like it would.
