SCT-013-050 Split Core Current Sensor 50A 1V AC Current Transformer

Description �� SCT-013-050 Split Core Current Sensor 50A/1V Non-Invasive AC Current Transformer | AuscomTech The SCT-013-050 is a split-core current transformer designed for non-invasive AC current measurement without cutting, disconnecting, or modifying existing wiring. It clamps around a single conductor and produces a proportional 1V output signal using its built-in burden resistor, making interfacing simpler for monitoring and measurement systems. This sensor is well suited to energy monitoring, appliance load measurement, smart home power tracking, and integration with platforms such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, data loggers, and OpenEnergyMonitor-based systems. ⭐ Key Features Split-Core Clamp Design – Installs around an existing conductor for safe, non-invasive current sensing. 50A Measurement Range – Suitable for household circuits, appliances, and general AC load monitoring. 1V Voltage Output – Built-in burden resistor provides a voltage signal for easier ADC interfacing. Ferrite Transformer Core – Supports stable operation and reliable signal response. High Isolation – Measures current without direct electrical connection to the monitored conductor. Microcontroller Compatible – Commonly used with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and power monitoring systems. �� Technical Specifications Model: SCT-013-050 Sensor Type: Split-core current transformer Rated Current: 50A Output Signal: 1V AC Built-In Burden Resistor: Yes Frequency Range: 50Hz to 150kHz Linearity: ±3% (10% to 120% of rated current) Core Material: Ferrite Opening Size: Approx. 13mm × 13mm Cable Length: Approx. 1.5m Connector: 3.5mm audio plug Operating Temperature: -25°C to 70°C Housing Rating: UL94-V0 flame retardant Dielectric Strength: 6000V AC / 1 minute �� Typical Applications Home energy monitoring Power usage measurement Arduino and ESP32 current sensing Solar and inverter monitoring Smart home automation systems Appliance load monitoring Motor and compressor current tracking Electrical diagnostics and data logging ⚠️ Important Notes Designed for AC current measurement only. Clamp around a single conductor only, not a complete multi-core cable. The output is an AC voltage signal proportional to measured current. For direct ADC input on microcontrollers, signal conditioning or DC biasing may be required. Not intended for direct mains voltage measurement. �� Package Includes 1 × SCT-013-050 Split Core Current Sensor 50A / 1V �� Recommended Accessories (Not Included) ESP32 development board – for wireless current and energy monitoring projects Arduino UNO or Nano – for basic data acquisition and logging Signal conditioning circuit – for ADC biasing and waveform sampling 3.5mm socket adapter – for easier panel or PCB connection
