Sensors

This ammeter kit is equipped with a high-precision, ring-type current transformer (Trafo) that functions as the primary sensor. This non-invasive sensor is simply placed around the current-carrying AC conductor, eliminating the need to cut or splice high-power wires. It safely and accurately measures the magnetic field generated by the current and converts it into a proportional, low-level signal that is sent to the ammeter gauge for display. This method ensures maximum safety and measurement integrity.
