Description

The Non-invasive AC Current Sensor also know as “CT Sensors” or “split code current transformer” are sensors used for measuring alternating current (AC) current in power lines and power strips capable of measuring from 0 to 100Amps. These are widely used for power/energy monitoring and power measurement projects.

This sensor is clamped around the supply line of an electrical load and will read how much the current is passing through. This is done by acting as an inductor and responding to the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor. 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.

Applications:
Power Monitoring Project
Current Measuring
Circuit Protection for AC Loads
Industrial Power Application
