Product description: Gravity - analog AC current sensor - up to 10 A - DFRobot SEN0288
An analog sensor from DFRobot that measures the AC current flowing in a wire without cutting the wire. The measurement range is up to 10 A, and the measurement itself is done through insulation on a single wire. The output is an analog voltage in the range of 0 V to 1 V. The module works with Arduino modules and boards operating at 3.3 V / 5 V. It also has a Gravity connector, which streamlines the process of connecting elements.
