#12679: AC Current Sensor (0-100A, SCT013-100)

R287.28

The AC Current Sensor (0-100A, SCT013-100) is a non-invasive current sensor transformer used to measure AC current in a safe and convenient manner. It is commonly used for energy monitoring, power management, and over-current protection applications.

Key Features of the SCT013-100 AC Current Sensor:

1. Non-Invasive Measurement: The sensor is designed to be clamped around the supply line or conductor carrying the AC current, eliminating the need for direct electrical contact with the conductor.

2. Measuring Range: The sensor is capable of measuring AC currents in the range of 0 to 100 amperes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

3. Output Signal: When clamped around the current-carrying conductor, the sensor produces a very small AC voltage signal that is proportional to the measured current. This voltage signal can be read and processed by connected circuits or microcontrollers.

4. Rated Measurement Input Current: The sensor is rated for a maximum input current of 100 amperes, ensuring reliable and accurate measurements within its specified range.

5. Maximum Input Current: The sensor can handle a maximum input current of 120 amperes for short durations without damage.

6. Rated Output: The sensor provides a rated output of 50mA, which is used to represent the measured current.

7. Maximum Rated Voltage: The sensor can handle a maximum rated voltage of 660V at frequencies ranging from 50Hz to 1kHz.

8. High Accuracy: The SCT013-100 AC Current Sensor offers high accuracy with a tolerance of +-1% and excellent linearity of <=0.2%. This ensures precise and reliable current measurements.

9. Compact and Lightweight: With dimensions of 5.6×3.1×2.1cm and a weight of 63g, the sensor is compact and easy to handle.

The SCT013-100 AC Current Sensor is widely used in various applications, including smart energy monitoring systems, power consumption analysis, motor control, and over-current protection circuits. Its non-invasive nature makes it safe and easy to use, while its high accuracy and linearity ensure accurate current measurements. Whether you are an electronics enthusiast, engineer, or hobbyist, this sensor can be a valuable tool for measuring and understanding AC current consumption in your projects and devices.
