The CT is an alternating current measurement device. The unit has swing-open jaws that clamp around one wire. The unit is switch selectable for 30,60,120 amps. The output is a DC signal from 0-5V proportional to the current. This device connects to the analog input ports of IT Watchdogs climate monitors. The climate monitor will display a value from 0-99 proportional to both the input voltage and the current measured.
