Hi there!
First, I'd like to say this is a brilliant project! I’m new to this but I want to try it out for myself by making a prototype.
Therefore, I bought a CT Sensor (SCT-013-030 (www.seeedstudio.com/depot/noninvasive-ac-current-sensor-30a-max-p-519.html)) at Seeedstudio. Afterwards I concluded there is only one version that gives a DC output (SCT-013-000). Therefore, I have to convert the AC to DC. However using my SCT-013-030 around a power cord of a turned-on 2000W device, I’m not able to sense any AC using my multi-meter or oscilloscope. What goes wrong? How can I fix it?
I hope you can help me out. Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Ps. I’m living in the Netherlands, so we use 230V @50Hz
