SCT-013-050 YHDC Current Sensor 50A/1V

The SCT-013-050 is a non-invasive AC current sensor that operates based on current transformer (CT) technology. It is designed to be clamped around a conductor to measure the alternating current (AC) flowing through it without direct electrical contact, ensuring safe operation. The sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the measured current.

Applications:-

1. Energy Monitoring:

   • Residential and commercial energy meters can use this sensor to measure large current draws from heavy-duty appliances or equipment, like HVAC systems, water heaters, industrial machinery, or large kitchen appliances.

2. Industrial Equipment Monitoring:

   • The SCT-013-050 is well-suited for monitoring high-power industrial motors, machinery, and transformers to ensure that they are operating within safe current limits. It can help with preventive maintenance by detecting abnormal current behavior, which might indicate potential issues.

3. Solar Power Systems:

   • This sensor is useful for monitoring large solar panel systems and battery storage systems where higher currents are often generated or stored. It can help track power generation efficiency and battery charge/discharge rates.

4. Electric Vehicle Charging:

   • Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations often involve higher current flows, especially fast-charging systems. The SCT-013-050 can measure the current supplied to EVs, ensuring safe and accurate charging.

5. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS):

   • Used in UPS systems to monitor the current flowing through the system, ensuring that backup power supplies function correctly and efficiently, especially for high-power systems.
