20A SCT Current Transformer – Non-Invasive AC Current Sensor with Analog Signal Conversion Module
The 20A SCT Current Transformer Kit offers a safe, non-contact, and highly accurate solution for monitoring AC current in wires without breaking the circuit. With a split-core clamp design, this sensor simply snaps around a live or neutral wire to sense the current flowing through it.
It outputs a small AC voltage signal via a 3.5mm plug, ideal for microcontrollers or signal processing modules in energy metering, current monitoring, or over-current protection systems. Designed with safety and ease of installation in mind, it's perfect for high-voltage environments where direct electrical contact is risky.
