Hi All

My solar panels when connected to my BM system have a single pair Red / Black.
When I measure the current using my Tongs I get a difference of 1.5 A between reading the
red or the black.This is in the 16 A range.

Even when I measure a load in the mA range the same way, there is always a difference.
Granted my Tongs are no-brand, but am I missing something.

I am careful about having a nice loop of cable and away from others when I measure.
