Overview
The CT Series Low Alternating Current Sensors can be
used to detect very low current levels and for overcurrent
protection in electronic appliances.
Applications
Typical applications include overcurrent detection in
microcontroller-based equipment, refrigerators, air
conditioners, inductive heating, servo motors, inverters,
UPSs and SMPS.

Precautions
Before Using Low Alternating Current Sensors
• Do NOT drop or apply any other mechanical stress.
• Preliminary study is required when heating by current conduction.
• Do NOT use the Low Alternating Current Sensors opened between secondary output terminals. Heat build-up in the
magnetic core may occur, resulting in damages to the parts by melting of the coil.
