NON-INVASIVE AC CURRENT SENSOR (30A MAX) SCT-013-030

Non-invasive AC Current Sensor (30A max) SCT-013-030
This Non-invasive AC Current Sensor (30A max) SCT-013-030 or current transformer can be clamped around the supply line of an electrical load to measure the current. It does this by acting as an inductor and responding to the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor. By reading the amount of current being produced by the coil, you can calculate how much current is passing through the conductor.

This particular current sensor will measure a load up to 30 Amps which makes it great for building your own energy monitor to keep your power usage down, or even building an over-current protection device for an AC load. This sensor does not have a load resistor built in, so in most cases it will be necessary to place a resistor across the output to convert the coil’s induced current to a very small measurable voltage.
