Hello,
while testing ADE7868 on a custom board we are experiencing linearity issues on the current channels.
We have 2500:1 CTs connected to the current channels, these are the values obtained for various points of operation (ADE uncalibrated).
P.1 I=0.28A

As you can see, the response is not linear, and phase current 3 behaves strangely.
We already verified the CTs and their are linear, the behaviour is the same even swapping CTs.
Attenuation networks and burdens are the same on all the 3 lines.
What can we do?
Thank you.
