SCT-013 Non-Invasive AC Current Sensor Clamp Sensor 1V

This is SCT-013 Non-invasive AC Current Sensor Clamp Sensor. 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 current sensor clamped around the supply line can measure a load up to 30 Amps, and allow you to calculate how much current passes through it.

Non-invasive AC Current Clamp Sensor 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 30A. 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 Non-invasive AC Current Sensor 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.
