Product Overview
The SCT40L CT sensor is engineered to measure AC current in power systems, converting high primary current into a small, safe secondary current (10mA or 20mA) to feed into energy meters or monitoring instruments. The split-core design allows installation without disconnecting the conductor, reducing downtime and risk.
Because of its design and output, it is compatible with many metering and power monitoring devices that accept 10mA or 20mA CT inputs. The robust materials and insulation ensure stability and reliability in industrial environments.

Key Features & Benefits
Split-Core Open Design, The openable core allows installation around existing conductors without removing cables, making it highly suitable for retrofit projects and operating electrical systems.
Compact 40mm Aperture, The 40mm opening provides a practical balance between conductor compatibility and installation space, making it suitable for distribution cabinets and retrofit monitoring points.
Low-Current Secondary Output, The SCT40L uses a low-current output architecture, making it suitable for smart meters and energy-monitoring acquisition systems rather than traditional 1A/5A metering-only applications.
OEM/ODM Ready For B2B buyers, the product is not only a standard CT but can be positioned as a customizable sensing component for energy meters, EMS and electrical monitoring systems. YADA states that its CT portfolio supports customization of current range, secondary output, accuracy, housing, cable, connector and branding.

FAQ
Q: What does “50A → 10mA / 100A → 20mA” mean?
A: It indicates the primary-to-secondary current ratio: for example, when 50A flows through the primary conductor, the CT outputs 10mA; similarly, at 100A, it outputs 20mA.
Q: Can this CT be installed without shutting down the circuit?
A: Yes. The split-core design allows you to clamp it around a live conductor without disconnecting wires.
Q: What accuracy class does it belong to?
A: That depends on the variant (e.g., 0.5, 1.0). Please confirm from the datasheet or model specification.
Q: What is the acceptable ambient temperature range?
A: Typically –20 °C to +60 °C (or per spec) — verify against your actual product sheet.
Q: What is the output burden (load) this CT can drive?
A: The rated burden (e.g., ≤2 VA) defines the maximum load the CT can drive without losing accuracy — please refer to the specific variant spec.
