Following on from my ‘Fitting a Power Meter to a CU Part 1’ question here is Part 2.

My home installation includes a Lutron Homeworks system that is supplied by a dedicated CU image here - PXL_20211105_203655704.jpg - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkQ39xZI1R4EkuBYCGWrqhjWgNTZlQ?e=W89acf

The power meter CT clamps will be tricky to fit into the available space so I propose to mount the power meter control box underneath the dedicated CU. My thoughts are to remove the live lighting circuit supply connection from each RCBO circuit, replace it with a matched cable that will run into the enclosure allowing sufficient cable to enable the CT clamp to be fitted and then returned to the CU and the circuit completed using a WAGO connector to join the removed cable to the newly installed cable.

Any comments on this method and the specification for the enclosure and conduit are requested.

Many thanks.
