Aeotec home energy meter - smaller clamps?

[surge919]

I have an extra DSB28 and decided to try using it to detect usage of specific circuits.

I have the clamp it comes with tracking my furnace and it works fine.
Another circuit (Microwave/Range) is tight so I picked up a smaller clamp.

The clamp it comes with is reporting correctly (furnace) but the smaller clamp (microwave) is way off.

Does anyone know the specs of the clamp it comes with?

The clamp I’m currently using it the 30A/1V

Any ideas how I get this working with a smaller clamp?

EDIT:
I created a template but don’t know the exact multiplier so I’ll keep messing around with it.
This may work if I can’t find the correct clamp

- platform: template
  sensors:
    microwave_range_mod_w:
      value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.home_energy_meter_g2_electric_consumption_w_1') | float(0) / 1000) | round(1) }}"

If you don’t know anything about the original clamp, I suggest you not to play with some random clamp. You risk to damage your meter.
Original clamp can have current output or voltage output.
And any turn ratio.

Hello,
It sounds like the smaller clamp might not be compatible with the DSB28. The DSB28 typically uses a 30A/1V clamp. Ensure the smaller clamp is rated similarly and properly calibrated. If issues persist, consider contacting the manufacturer for support. Official Website
