The Energy Monitor Bricklet is equipped with a 3.5mm jack plug for a current transformer and a 3.5mm OD/1.35mm ID barrel plug for a voltage transformer. The transformer voltages are used to calculate voltage, current, energy, real/apparent/reactive power, power factor and frequency of mains voltage of a single phase conductor. Additionally the waveform for voltage and current is provided.
The Energy Monitor Bricklet can do all of the measurements without the need for any exposed mains voltage wiring!
To use the Bricklet you have to connect a current transformer clamp around a single phase conductor and connect an AC voltage transformer to the same power line. The Energy Monitor Bricklet will use the low-level output voltages of the transformers to make the measurements. This ensures that the Bricklet is safe to handle, since no mains voltage has a direct connection to the Bricklet.
We offer a 230V voltage transformer as well as a 5A current transformer clamp or 30A current transformer clamp. The Bricklet comes factory-calibrated for these transformers.
