[DPRG] small ac signal RMS measurements

I'd like to measure power being used in the house on a per-circuit basis. 
I've looked at various split core transformers and the smallest seem to go 
down to 1amp but I'd like 0 - 15amp range. The current plan is to put 5 
turns of #30 Kynar wire on to the hot lead and use a high instrumentation 
amplifier like the one shown here:

I was wondering if anyone else had started on this road and knew of 
specific pot holes to avoid.
