DCT-0016-100 Split-Core Current Sensor
Magnelab’s DCT-0016-100 (previously MAG-J16D005-100) is a 16mm split-core current sensor that transforms an AC current of 100 Amps to a DC voltage output up to 5 Vdc. Split-core sensors are ideal for installation on existing electrical wiring by snapping around the conductor. The DCT-0016 has a self-locking mechanism.

DCT-0016-100 | Description
The Magnelab DCT-0016-100 previously sold under the product name MAG-J16D005-100. This sensor contains a split core with a 16mm opening. Capable of detecting up to 100 Amps of AC current this current sensor transforms the input signal to 0 to 5 Vdc DC voltage output. This type of current transducer is ideal in places where electrical wiring is installed previously. Accordingly, it simply snaps around the conductor itself with a self-locking mechanism. Constructed using high quality materials, therefore, it will never break. This is also why the device comes with a 7 year warranty.
The device is used in a variety of different applications. Most commonly, it is used as a power monitor for pumps and HVAC applications. In addition, it is also found in small industrial motors, refrigeration, lighting and fans. As such, it is a very versatile piece of technology.
