Double Pole Breaker from a single leg

[TeslaJerk]

I am installing Emporia Vue to monitor my usage. When I went to configure the lines I noticed that the oven breaker is setup to use two single pole breakers pulling from the same leg. Why would the electrician do it this way instead of using a two pole breaker? Can the Vue accurately measure the electricity usage or should I just swap it with a 2 pole breaker?

? Every breaker in your image is a 2 pole ganged breaker. One does have the black wired swapped position with the red but it is still OK.

It makes sense now. Thanks. I thought the two pole breakers were made differently but it's the position of the breaker determines which leg the breaker connects to.

Your oven is on a double 20A?

Ovens I have seen here in the US are rated at 240 VAC. And most panel breaker arrangement alternate between the split phases L1 (120vac) and L2 (120vac). So the sensor at only one phase is ok, I think.

1 CT on either leg is fine. The set up menu has provision to set that circuit with a multiplier of 2 so you don't waste one of the available CT's unnecessarily.
