I'll be running 4 lines of 14/2 wire to my mining rack, 220v each on 20 am breakers.
I'm wondering if there is something I can purchase to put around the wire's as a bundle, and track consumption? Or better off doing each individual plug?

You can buy off these meters on ebay as well, they have many cheap options out there.

Is that accurate by any reasonable definition? I had no idea you could use CT on relatively low-draw stuff.

True but it monitors a hisher draw load.. I looked at the other one but feared that it could not handle the mini farm maybe 1 for each unit Smiley but when we start talking 10KW draw Which is why i got the one i did.

Agree, that's why i suggest to choose power meter that using ct for measurement. With ct, if something bad happen to the meter, the load will be fine.
