proper hybrid/grid tie inverter and CT wiring

[empowered]

Yeah, if someone shows up on my property uninvited. I assume that they are there to recycle my lead.

a man after my own heart!

is it normal for CT readers to have this much gap?

trying to figure out where my mismatch in readings comes from. have noticed a slight difference if i position the wire closer to the housing where the sensor is

Gap doesn't matter, as long as it's snapped together.

any idea what these are? came with my 50kw inverter

Toroidal rings, maybe.
Supposed to help against EMP's. (Maybe)

It looks to me that 6AWG wire was used, but I can't tell if copper or aluminum. The problem will be when you exceed 12Kw with grid assist thru the inverter, the wire may not be large enough for the load. 6AWG with 75°F rating = 65A and the inverter is rated at 63A output per leg. 6AWG copper is large enough but if there are sustained loads for long periods of time, it really isn't large enough as the conductor is run at max amperage constantly. Looking at your last photo, the wire appears to possibly be aluminum and if it is, then it is not large enough. Another problem, the input/output breakers on the inverter are rated at 63A so max load = 7560W per leg. This is why one uses a pair of inverters, it allows twice the capacity thru the inverters, essentially you could put 15Kw thru a pair of inverters. Inverter output is combined using either a breaker panel or polaris type connector and a larger size conductor would be used.

I have to ask what is the rating of the transfer switch on the generator inputs?

If the data from SA still appears off now that Tim has pointed you in the correct direction for wiring, then check for an software update in SA. My Raspberry Pi had read off since install when comparing PV input vs Loads/battery charging. The latest update brings the data displayed more accurate. I recall you may have been in contact with Pierre and he told you it was the inverter outputting incorrect data but I found it was on the SA side in my experience.
