Good day! I’m currently using Sct 013 100Amps current sensor and my circuit measurement using digital multimeter is below 1Amps. I read articles and it’s not a good idea to use a 100A sct sensor to a circuit that is below 1A. Is 30Amps sct 013 sensor is okay??
My project:
I’m doing miniature of home automation with power consumption reader using BLYNK. So I use 3 mini bulb 10W and is parallel connected to relay. When I used sct 013 100A, if I turned on the 1st bulb it will read 0.05A which is the same as digital multimeter read but if I turned on both 1st and 2nd bulb the serial monitor still shows 0.05 instead of 0.12A. What should I check? What should i do to make it near accurate? Is it possible to measure below 1A using Sct 013?? My knowledge of electronics is very limited I hope someone can help.
I saw this in youtube which is power consumption monitoring but i want to add home automation.
Please ignore the fan. I did separate it into another relay.
@Jhonedward_Patromo your last post in this topic doesn’t really ask any questions, and certainly none that are Blynk related.
In fact, the entire topic seems to be about a subject that isn’t really related to Blynk, other than the final results - if you are able to obtain them, will be displayed in Blynk.
It is sometimes useful and productive to discuss data capture issues - and the associated electrical and mechanical hardware necessary to achieve that - in this forum. However, in this case I can’t help but feel this topic would be better discussed elsewhere.
Maybe you should look for a forum that focuses more on the circuits necessary to obtain the data you want to monitor. Then if you have any issues with sending that captured data to Blynk, you should come back here to obtain assistance in that area.
