On this device, there is no delay; only sensitivity adjustments are available.
You're looking for the amperage. As long as you're pulling more than, I believe you'll be fine. 2 amps. If you're on the verge of crossing that line, loop the wire through the hole two or three times. The current to the sensor will be multiplied by this number of times. So . 2 amps on a line looped twice through the hole results in. The sensor receives 4 amps of power.
It's perfectly natural. br>br>What I did was turn a bunch of them CCW. My load will now begin. Turn them right until the relay clicks, then go a little further to make sure it wasn't tripping due to inrush current alone.
This is for monitoring power (current flow) not voltage. When current is detected (amperage is flowing), this will close the contact and turn on the light. Try this, it's a voltage monitor with under and over voltage settings """ GAEYAELE GRV8- Adjustable Over or Under Voltage Protection Monitor Relay with LED Display (GRV8-1) 01 Single Phase Voltage Relay (GRV8-1) 01,A220) """ just copy and paste into the search box, or you could just use a relay with a NC (normally closed) contact like """ Functional Devices RIBU1C Enclosed Pilot Relay, 10 Amp Spdt with 10-Amp Spdt with 10-Amp Spdt with 10-Amp Spdt with 10-Amp Spdt with 10-Amp Spdt with 10-Amp Spdt with 10-Amp Spdt with 10-A Coil """ 30 Vac/Dc/120 Vac

When a power tool is turned on, these current sensors send a signal to my Arduino mega. The Arduino opens the pneumatic blast gate and turns on the central dust collector when it receives a signal that a power tool has been turned on. After the last machine is turned off, the Arduino knows how many machines are on and when to turn off the dust collector (with a delay). It was a lot of fun to put together, and the current sensors made it simple and dependable.
It does what it says it will. With one exception, I am very pleased with this device. br>br>The issue is that the slots in the adjustment screws are poorly cut (or cast?) and make properly inserting the screwdriver blade difficult. br>The trimpot, in my opinion, deserves an extra nickel. I'd gladly spend another quarter on the device if it meant less fiddling with the settings.
This is just a basic current sensor. When current flow is detected, a series of contacts are closed. SWEET! It took about a day to put it together in a box with connectors, wire it, and then put it in place. After dialing in the SENSITIVITY control, it now turns on the SMPTE Bias Lighting behind the flatscreen when my AV receiver is turned on. Exactly what I was looking for! br>.
The flow of current, as expected, activates a relay contact. I like how the switch status is indicated by LEDs. I've found it to be the most affordable unit of its kind. I use it to activate home automation by connecting it to the hot side of a dishwasher's AC supply. Even at the lowest setting, the dishwasher cycle's initial 30 seconds have insufficient current to trigger this, but once it gets going, the current is adequate. It's a nice touch to have a pot to change the sensitivity. So far, everything has gone very well!.
This current sensor was used to control an hour meter (AIMILAR Mechanical Hour Meter AC 110-V) that I had. ATV Lawn Mower Chainsaw Compressor Tiller Chipper AC 110V 120V 220V 230V) on a mini-power supply Split-system air conditioning There was no easy way to directly register compressor hours because the AC compressor is controlled by an inverter (no low voltage control or constant high voltage to the compressor). This is what I chose to use to measure current flow on the 230VAC input. The trigger current was set to only activate the timer when the compressor was running. The condenser was not modified in any way that would void the manufacturer's warranty. It was installed in a box after the service disconnect and before the condenser, with only one line leg running through it.
It was cheaply made and did not work as described on the Amazon website, with no instructions. It was a waste of money. It has two LEDs, one green and the other red, as well as a sensitivity adjustment screw. I'm guessing the screw controls the current level of an internal relay, allowing it to open or close. In my case, it had no effect at all. It is possible to turn on or off only the green LED. I don't see how a CT could possibly have enough voltage and current to drive a relay without the use of external power. Similar products, in my opinion, are unlikely to be successful.
I knew the current in the line was well within the stated range for this device because I had measured it, but it simply did not produce any output. I even attempted to "wrap" the trigger line through the hole several times. Nothing has happened so far. The adjustment pot was ineffective and seemed to have no effect. Returned.
Junk. When current was flowing, a red LED illuminated, but the switch appeared to be broken. When current was flowing and the red LED was on, I checked for continuity between the switch contacts to ensure the switch was closed. br>Nada, nada, nada, nada, nada, nada, Junk. Returning isn't even worth it.
