DC Split Core Current Transformer
A split core body for DC power monitoring, in the same clip on format as the AC SCT range so a mixed AC and DC installation uses one mounting method throughout.
- TypeDC split core current sensor
- FramesSCT010TS-D, SCT024TS-D
- FormatClip on split core
- ApplicationDC power monitoring
Product Overview
A DC split core current sensor for power monitoring duty, offered alongside the AC Rogowski, split core and solid core sensors in the same catalogue.
Frames published: SCT010TS-D and SCT024TS-D.
Application Scenarios
- DC power monitoring
- Battery and photovoltaic string measurement
- Telecom and data centre DC distribution
Technical Features

Questions Buyers Ask
Can a normal current transformer measure DC?
No. A current transformer works by electromagnetic induction and needs a changing current. For DC, use either a DC current sensor like this one or a calibrated shunt from the DIN 43703 range.
What ranges are available?
The two published frames are SCT010TS-D and SCT024TS-D. Send the current, the output the logger expects and the conductor size and an engineer will confirm the part.
Shunt or DC split core sensor?
A shunt is the cheaper and more accurate route where the circuit can be broken once during installation. A DC split core sensor is the answer where it cannot.
