CT Clamp Compatibility

[threeofseven]

Is the M30 compatible with .333v CT clamps?

[admin]

use for 1v CT sensor.

Hi there is any compatibility list of the CT sensors? Something like this in aliexpress?
: DLCT03CL2.0 for 20amps

for 30amps

you can chose any CT sensor on market , just let output 0-1v, 2000:1 CT.

Hi,
I have written directly to kincony - to no response. So i repeat my mail below:
In brief - i bought 20A and 50A clamps from the recommended links (with embedded load resistors). They came with stereo headphone jacks, and  - after some fiddling in ESPHome yaml files - they do not work, despite declarations

Unfortunately I am disappointed with all the CT Clamp Sensors you sent me.
They are inappropriate for N30 appliance.

Would you please send me the correct CT Clamp Sensors? Current outputting not voltage outputting.
More details below.

I bought them based on your advise. I used the link on N30 web page to the CT Clamp sensors, so I expected them to be appropriate and cooperating products. Not so.

There are two issues:
1. All the clamp sensors I got have a mini-jack terminal. But N30 has no mini-jack outlets, so you cannot plug them in.
  Anyway, to address it and not file a claim, on my own expense I bought additional adapters to connect mini-jacks to the N30 applicance. But this did not solve the problem either.

2. The sensors (CT Clamps) I got are voltage sensors, not current sensors. This means your N30 does not receive any usable readout from them. I have received models YMDC STC013 20A/1V or 50A/1V, which contain internal load resistors.  And from what I have read, N30 cannot work with them.

Looking forward to your help.
This timeThis time I ordered ( order #3981) N30 and CT Clamp sensors. I like the board, I did flash it for ESPHome, it is fine.

cut the sensor's mini-jack, connect to N30 terminal directly.

Hi, please read original post below.
i bought CT clamps that are suggested by Kincony (e.g. YMDC STC013 20A/1V), but:
- they are terminated with mini jacks - this does not match mechanically to N30
- they yield voltages out of 1v range (BUT Kincony recommends them on N30 page).

i have written for support two weeks ago or more, but there was no reply. 
hence i write here. 

best,
stan

YMDC STC013 20A/1V also can use, just cut the mini-jack, connect to N30's black terminal directly.
if you don't understand, you can add whatsapp number: +86-15381188302

Hi,
I will share whatsapp when I am back home. 
I have managed to deal woth mini jakck. 

But i am getting no current readouts from the sensor. I am using EspHome firmware. 

Best regards,
Stan

I think you have sent me wrong type of sensors - current outputting ones.
