YHDC SCT013 under read Watt

Just bought some YHDC SCT010 100A/50ma and they see to be reading lower power than the ECS16100 it replace, it read like 7500 Watts while it should read closer to 9000.

Reading the forum I saw that many seem to have issue with the -30-50-xxx version, but that seem to be a -000 version which should be supported.

Is it a known issue? Is there any solution beside buying new device?

Thank

Not enough information to speculate on what the issue is. The SCT010 listed in the setup tables is for a 1000 turns CT i.e. 50A/50mA. But I don’t know how you configured this CT. If the CT has printed SCT010 - 100A/50mA then it should be in the ballpark configured as an ECS16100 or even an SCT013 for that matter. But I don’t see where YHDC makes a 100A/50mA SCT010.

Sorry… big typo.. it’s an SCT013 not an SCT010

There are a lot of flavors for the SCT013. If yours is marked 100A/50mA, that’s the supported one. There were some reports of counterfeit SCT013 awhile back and sounds like you may have one.

Otherwise, make sure you have SCT013-000 and not one of the voltage output variants.

I don’t seem to have a fake one and it’s really written SCT013 100A:50 ma on it.

Maybe it’s defective or something else :frowning:

Is there anyway to “customize” the setup so that it compensate for the misread?

Will try to find an other company making them, any recommendation? I was looking for ECS one before, but can’t find any provider in Canada, CircuitIQ only seem to be selling full kit.

It’s off by a lot. All things equal, my guess is that it either has a broken core or is not fully closed on the wire.

Can you put the CT on the same wire as the ECS16100 and post a screenshot of the status display with the load on?

Also, can you post a screenshot of your inputs setup?

I’ve put a different SCT013 (got 2), and the second one work well, maybe the previous one have an issue

Thank You

The usual suspects.
