SCT-013-000 20A Non-Invasive AC Current Sensor Split Current Transformer (20A/1V)

SCT-013-000 20A Non-Invasive AC Current Sensor Split Current Transformer (20A/1V)

This is SCT-013-010 Non-invasive AC Current Sensor Clamp Sensor 20A. SCT-013-000 is a Non-Invasive AC current sensor i.e. it is a current transformer that can be used to measure AC current up to 100 amperes.

This Non-invasive AC Current Sensor clamped around the supply line can measure a load up to 20 Amps, and allow you to calculate how much current pass through it. It can be useful for building your own energy monitor or for building an over-current protection device for an AC load. This current clamp can be used to detect a current of up to 20A. Simply clip it around the current source that you wish to measure and it will produce a (very) small AC voltage proportional to the current. The cable is terminated on one end with a standard 3.5mm jack (like a headphone jack).

Use this to build your own energy monitor and keep your power usage down, or use it to build an over-current protection device for an AC load. See the link below for an example project. Check out the datasheet for the pinout of the 3.5mm jack.
