Description
Our wireless current sensor (CT) simply clips around three individual cables, measuring the alternating current (AC) and the wireless transmitter attaches outside the panel for reliable wireless data transmission. The small, energy-harvesting devices use ultra-low
power wireless and battery-less technology making them easy to install and very low maintenance.

Features & Benefits
- Simply clip around three individual cables, measuring the alternating current (AC)
- Wireless transmitter attaches outside the panel for reliable wireless data transmission via EnOcean wireless protocol, which uses internationally approved, license-free ISM bands
- Easy to install and very low maintenance
- Measures current (50 Hz or 60Hz) every 30 seconds in three separate channels
- Self-powered using ultra-low energy from the measured conductor, so there’s no need
for batteries or wiring
Measurement ranges:
• 1A-60A (+/- 0.1A or 2%)
• 2A-200A (+/- 0.1A or 2.5%)
• 2A-600A (+/- 1A or 3%)
