Non-Invasive AC Current Sensor SCT-013 30A/1V Max

What is CT sensors Current transformers (CTs) are sensors that are used for measuring alternating current. They are particularly useful for measuring whole building electricity consumption (or generation for that matter). The split core type such as the CT in the picture above, is particularly suitable for DIY use it can be clipped straight on to either the live or neutral wire coming into the building without having to do any high voltage electrical work. Applications Suitable for the current measuring Monitoring and protection of AC motor Lighting equipment Air compressor
