The measurement solution combines an open‑type current transformer probe with a signal conversion module that outputs an analog voltage readable by common microcontroller platforms. Simply clamp the probe around a live AC wire and connect the 3.5 mm plug to the conversion board to obtain a proportional signal representing current flow. This non‑invasive electrical monitoring module supports quick deployment in energy monitoring projects, appliance diagnostics, and equipment supervision systems involving AC loads such as AC motors, lighting equipment, and compressors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNon‑Contact Current Measurement for Safer Monitoring\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn open‑type transformer clamp allows AC current measurement without direct electrical contact. The sensing probe simply clips around a conductor, eliminating hazardous wiring modifications or soldering work. This inductive measurement approach improves electrical safety while maintaining stable signal acquisition. Such characteristics make the clamp‑style current detection system suitable for household appliances, industrial equipment monitoring, and quick diagnostic setups where circuit interruption is undesirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnalog Output Designed for Microcontroller Integration\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included signal conditioning board converts the transformer output into a stable analog voltage range of 0.2–2.8 V, allowing direct reading through common development platforms. Compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic simplifies integration with embedded systems including Arduino development boards and other microcontroller platforms. The Gravity interface further streamlines wiring using a standard PH2.0‑3P connector for rapid prototyping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlexible Measurement Range for Appliance and Equipment Monitoring\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transformer probe supports a linear 0–10 A AC current range with high accuracy and low non‑linearity, making the sensing assembly suitable for a variety of monitoring tasks. Household electrical loads, lighting circuits, and small industrial equipment can be analyzed through simple clamp‑on measurement. The extended frequency range from 50 Hz to 1 kHz also allows reliable monitoring of common AC power environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E35014-content1.webp?v=1791501308\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFigure: Gravity Analog AC Current Sensor connection diagram (Arduino UNO)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0641\/5437\/files\/E35014-content2.webp?v=1791501323\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFigure: Measure and display household appliances AC current\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clamp‑based AC current sensing module is suitable for appliance power monitoring, electrical load analysis, smart energy measurement, and automation equipment diagnostics.
