CT Clamp SCT-013-000 / 5A–1V: Non-invasive current transformer for safe electrical monitoring

The SCT-013-000 5A/1V is a split-core current clamp designed to measure electricity consumption safely, accurately, and without direct contact with wiring. It is an ideal solution for energy monitoring in homes and businesses where quick, non-invasive installation is required.

Unlike other current output transformers, this model offers a fixed voltage output of 1 V for a primary current of up to 5 A, making it especially safe, stable, and easy to integrate with automation systems and sensitive electronic devices.

Its clamp design allows it to be installed without cutting cables or interrupting the electrical supply: simply place it around the conductor to be measured.
