Running a 3-phase setup on the boat (yeah I know, overkill, but here we are 😅) with three MP2s and an Ekrano GX. Got the VM-3P75CT current transformer on the grid feed and a couple of MPPTs hanging off it.

ESS is configured and mostly working but I'm getting a weird gap in VRM — the Feed-in consumption data is just... absent. Like, everything else populates fine:

  • Solar yield ✅
  • Battery state ✅
  • Grid import/export ✅
  • AC consumption — blank 🤔

Is this a known thing with the 3P75CT on multi-phase installs? I'm wondering if the CT clamps aren't summing correctly across all three phases or if the Ekrano just isn't aggregating it properly into VRM.

Firmware is up to date on everything. The Ekrano is on the latest stable. MPPTs are Victron SmartSolar 150/35s.

What's baffling me is the grid meter does seem to be reading — I can see import/export figures fluctuating correctly when I chuck the kettle on. So the CT is clearly picking something up. Just not feeding consumption through to VRM properly.

Anyone else hit this on a 3-phase ESS setup with the VM-3P75CT specifically? Is there a VRM dashboard widget setting I'm missing, or is this more likely a Venus OS config thing?

Getting proper narky staring at a blank consumption graph after all the effort it took to wire this lot up 😤
