When you need to monitor high-voltage AC mains but want to prioritize safety and ease of installation, the SCT-013-030 30A Split Core Current Transformer is the industry standard for makers and engineers. This non-invasive sensor simply clips around the live or neutral wire of your circuit, eliminating the need to splice dangerous, high-power cables.
Unlike the bare-output models, the -030 variant features a built-in burden resistor. This means it directly outputs a safe, proportional 0-1V AC signal for loads up to 30A. This clean voltage output makes it exceptionally easy to read using the built-in ADCs on your Arduino, ESP32, STM32 without requiring complex external circuitry.
Perfect For:
-
IoT AC Energy Metering: The foundational sensor for designing custom, multi-tier AC energy meters for smart homes or industrial sub-panels.
-
Appliance Monitoring: Clip it onto individual breaker lines to track the real-time power consumption of specific high-draw appliances like AC units or water heaters.
-
Rapid Prototyping: Safely test and iterate your power-monitoring firmware without repeatedly exposing yourself to bare mains voltage.
