Has anyone got opinions on CT clamps vs inline flow for energy measurement in AC circuits, specifically in a residential panel?
I will be using a three phase meter for overall measurement, but I'd like to measure each circuit separately as well. CT clamps appeal as I don't have to install a DIN rail device for each circuit, reducing space. But I worry they may be inaccurate or interfere with each other.

@awfulwoman@indieweb.social I don’t believe they interfere with the readings, but they may interfere size-wise, especially if you choose split-core CT’s - they appear to be a little bigger than solid core, but then installation is more complicated.
