Hello noisette123 and welcome to the forum.

I would say that it would be possible to use your CTs with our meter provided that you will not be very accurate and I would not load them to full 100 amps. Our meters are designed to measure the 26.6mA output of our CTs, so you will not want to exceed this. Our CTs are also 0.1% accurate (this is much more accurate than you 1% CTs).

So given these drawbacks of going with the CTs you already have, I would seriously recommend that you use the CTs that we supply: http://www.ekmmetering.com/ekm-metering ... s-cts.html

Im really not trying to sell you something you don't need, but feel that you will have a much better experience if you use the CTs we provide.

Hope this helps

Regards,
