Possible to monitor power usage at my panel?

[plain sedge]

I live in apt that has appliances that eat up power. I know that but I would like to see how much power they are pulling. Recommendations are requested.

yes, ct clamp power monitors are probably what you want.

ct clamps must be used on a single conductor, so you need to get at that, not an insulated cord with multiple conductors. you don't have to disconnect anything with ct clamps.

I'm personally going for an esphome flashed emporia vue3

I would like to install that but since I live in a Condo and I am not comfortable working on my panel, this will have to wait until I am homeowner.

thats fair but your thread title says that you want to do stuff at the panel though...

that's the nice thing with ct clamps. if you get the kind you can open and close you can clamp them around a wire without disconnecting anything
