This document provides instructions for using an Arduino current sensor (SCT-013) to build an electricity meter. It describes the circuit components needed, including the current sensor, resistors, capacitor, LCD display and potentiometer. The sensor connects to the Arduino via an adapter or by wiring directly to two pins. The program code samples are provided using the EmonLib library to calculate current and power consumption values displayed on the LCD screen. Proper use of the non-invasive current sensor by wrapping only one wire is also outlined.

ARDUINO CURRENT SENSOR AC 100A

Model:SCT-013-000
User Manual

Instructions:
There are several examples for the use of the sensors SCT-013 line with Arduino. There is also much
discussion regarding since found several different circuits and calculations that take into account
internal resistance equipment, signal wavelength, and many other variables.
Here is a short way to do an electricity meter with Arduino, which approached quite the calculations
made using the formula I = P / E shown above.
We set up the circuit below using:

• 2 10 K resistors
• 1 uF capacitor 100
• 1 Display LCD 16 × 2
• 1 Potentiometer 10K for adjusting the display contrast
The SCT sensor comes with a P2 plug, you can connect to the Arduino using an adapter. If you prefer,
remove the plug and use only two wires coming from the sensor:

We created the program based on information from the site Open Energy Monitor using the
libraryEmonLib created by them and available in the software. Unzip the EmonLib folder and place it
inside the Libraries folder Arduino IDE.

Set the mains voltage by changing the variable network. Change the variable Pino_stc to use any other
(analog) input of the Arduino.

USING THE CURRENT METER:


The SCT 013-020-type sensor is considered "non-invasive". This means that, to measure current, do
not need to make any changes to the circuit that we are measuring. Just open the sensor, wrap the
wire and perform the measurement:

An important observation to perform the measurement is that the sensor must involve ONLY ONEof
the wires, as the image above. If we put the two wires within the sensor, the values are canceled and
the display will show the value 0 (zero), or some other incorrect value.
