SCT013

The SCT013 series are sensors of non-invasive, current transformers that measure the intensity of a current that crosses a conductor without needing to cut or modify the conductor itself. We can use these sensors with a processor, like Arduino, to measure the intensity or power consumed by a load. The SCT013 sensors are current transformers, instrumentation devices that provide a measurement proportional to the intensity that a circuit crosses. The measurement is made by electromagnetic induction. SCT013 sensors have a split core (like a clamp) that allows the user to turn it on to wrap electrical equipment without having to cut it off. In the SCT013 series there are models that provide the measurement as a current or a voltage output. It is more preferable to use voltage output because the connection is simpler.
