SCT-013 Split Core AC Current Sensor – 30A / 50A / 100A

The SCT-013 Series Split Core AC Current Sensor is a high-quality, non-invasive current transformer designed for accurate AC current measurement without interrupting your existing wiring. Simply clamp it around a single conductor to monitor energy consumption, log data, or integrate with smart home and energy management systems. Available in three current ratings — 30A (SCT-013-030), 50A (SCT-013-050), and 100A (SCT-013-000) — this sensor suits a wide range of residential, commercial, and maker/DIY applications.

Key Features

  • Non-Invasive Clamp-On Design — No need to cut or splice wires; the split-core housing opens and clips directly around a single AC conductor for fast, safe installation.
  • Three Current Ratings — Choose 30A, 50A, or 100A to match your specific circuit requirements.
  • SCT-013 Standard Form Factor — Fully compatible with popular open-source energy monitoring platforms (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, emonPi, and similar microcontroller projects).
  • High Accuracy — Precision wound toroidal core delivers reliable, repeatable readings for energy monitoring, smart grid, and data-logging applications.
  • Compact & Durable — Robust split-core housing resists everyday workshop and field conditions.
  • Includes SMD — Each order ships with the sensor and SMD component included.
  • Customizable — Available in 3 model variants (SCT-013-030 / SCT-013-050 / SCT-013-000); select the rating that suits your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the SCT-013 split core AC current sensor and how does it work?

A: The SCT-013 is a split-core current transformer that clamps around a single AC conductor. As AC current flows through the wire, it induces a proportional secondary current (or voltage) in the sensor coil, allowing you to measure the primary current without any direct electrical contact — making it ideal for safe, non-invasive energy monitoring in DIY and professional setups.

Q: Which model should I choose — 30A, 50A, or 100A?

A: Select your model based on the maximum current your circuit is likely to carry. Use SCT-013-030 for circuits up to 30A (e.g. small appliances), SCT-013-050 for up to 50A (e.g. EV chargers, sub-panels), and SCT-013-000 for up to 100A (e.g. whole-home main panels or large industrial loads).

Q: Is this sensor compatible with Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

A: Yes. The SCT-013 series is one of the most widely used current sensors in open-source energy monitoring communities. It is compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, emonPi, and most microcontroller platforms that accept an analog voltage or current input via a 3.5mm jack.

Q: Do I need to disconnect power to install the SCT-013?

A: No — the split-core design lets you open the sensor housing and clamp it around an existing live conductor without cutting or modifying the wire. However, always follow applicable electrical safety guidelines when working near live circuits.
