SCT-013-020 YHDC Current Sensor 20A/1V
The SCT-013-020 is a non-invasive AC current sensor designed to measure alternating current (AC) flowing through a conductor. This sensor is a current transformer (CT) that provides an output voltage proportional to the current passing through the conductor it is clamped around. It has a current range of 20A and outputs 1V at full scale (20A).
Applications:-
-
Energy Monitoring:
- Ideal for monitoring current usage in systems that require higher current capacities (e.g., home appliances, industrial equipment).
- Can be used in residential or commercial energy meters.
-
Home Automation:
- In smart homes, the sensor is used to track energy consumption, especially for larger appliances such as air conditioners, electric heaters, and refrigerators.
-
Solar Power Systems:
- Can monitor the performance of larger solar panel installations and battery banks, where higher current levels are common.
-
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations:
- Measures the current drawn by electric vehicle charging stations to ensure safe operation and monitor the charging process.
-
Industrial Systems and Motors:
- Used in industrial applications for monitoring current in motors, transformers, or heavy machinery. Ideal for predictive maintenance and load analysis.
