Ampere Sensor: Wireless AC Current Sensor from 10A to 500A for Industrial Energy Monitoring and IoT

The Ampere Sensor is a wireless AC current sensor designed to accurately and continuously monitor current flow on existing electrical lines. Available in a wide range from 10A up to 500A RMS, its split-core design allows for quick installation around live power cables—just like clipping on a carabiner—without disconnecting the electrical system.

With an integrated battery lasting up to 10 years, the Ampere Sensor is ideal for long-term and hard-to-reach applications. All measurements are easily accessible in real-time via web interface, mobile app, or API, making it fully compatible with IoT platforms and industrial automation systems.

Product Overview

The Ampere Sensor is a split-core current transducer that enables fast, non-invasive installation around live conductors—perfect for retrofit applications and system upgrades. It is widely used for energy monitoring, load variation detection, and preventive maintenance in both commercial and industrial environments.

Typical Applications:

• Industrial and building automation

• HVAC systems and refrigeration

• Electric motors, fans, and lighting

• Renewable energy plants

• Energy audits and efficiency analysis

How It Works

The sensor detects the magnetic field generated by current flowing through a conductor. This field induces a proportional current in an internal coil. The Neuron wireless module converts the signal (0–10V) into digital data and transmits it to a nearby Neuron Gateway, which then forwards it to the Neuron Cloud.

The sensor measures current every 10 seconds. If the current varies more than 20% of the full-scale range compared to the last reading, it triggers an immediate data transmission. Otherwise, data is sent every 2 minutes.
