That's 12 bare fiberglass boards (pcbs without the copper). Higher temperatures make the current read slightly less than it actually is.

I also ordered a part (that's on a 25 week back order) that should be able to be much closer to the bus bar.
What ever happened to the testing on the 1000amp current sensor
