The SCT-013-000 is a non-invasive AC current transformer designed for safe and accurate measurement of alternating current without cutting or modifying the conductor. It uses a split-core ferrite design that allows quick installation around existing wires while maintaining reliable electrical isolation. The sensor provides a proportional current output suitable for signal conditioning and data acquisition systems. It is commonly used with platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi for energy monitoring systems, power analysis, and over-current protection applications.
