SCT-013-000 is a Non-Invasive AC current sensor i.e. it is a current transformer that can be used to measure AC current up to 100 amperes. Current transformers (CTs) are sensors that are used for measuring alternating currents. They are particularly useful for measuring whole building electricity consumption (or generation for that matter). The split core type such as the SCT-013-000 CT in the picture is particularly suitable for DIY use it can be clipped straight onto either the live or neutral wire coming into the building without having to do any high voltage electrical work. Like any other transformer, a current transformer has a primary winding, a magnetic core, and a secondary winding. In the case of whole building monitoring the primary is the life or the neutral wire (not both) coming into the building itself and going through the hole in the CT. The secondary winding comprises many turns of fine wire housed within the casing of the transformer.
