Intersting, it probably has to use a simple half or full wave bridge diodes to rectify it to DC. I'm kind of scratching my head on this because the coil senses AC to rectify it to DC so where would you place this sensor coil? On your shore power input line if so I don't see a benefit but maybe I'm probably missing something here, yes?

Only takes a diode to change that. No idea what circuit is.

Even though that has "DC" in the description, based on the fact that it is using a coil to sense, I think that is an AC-only sensor.

I've been debating quite a bit but found this to be my first real mod.

With any luck it goes in this weekend. I choose this one over the shunt style mainly because of my experience with shunt style on my garage solar. The shunt has been the one item I have to replace a couple times now and it 'needs' to be spliced in. Never did like that. Even though there is still a direct connect, cutting the wire always bothered me. This one I think is a ferrite disk. 

I'll let you know how accurate I find it. Cumulative amperage usage is the biggest thing I want on the DC side of things.
