ZMCT103C AC Current Sensor Module — Precision Transformer

The ZMCT103C measures AC current up to 5A (rated, 20A peak) using a precision current transformer, outputting a scaled analogue voltage proportional to the RMS current through the measured wire. Unlike the ACS712 Hall effect sensor, the ZMCT103C uses magnetic transformer coupling — providing galvanic isolation and better linearity at low current levels. The module operates at 3.3V–5V and requires a sampling circuit (typically a precision op-amp) for accurate ADC reading.

  • Precision current transformer — galvanic isolation, no Hall drift
  • 5A rated measurement range (20A peak)
  • Analogue output — proportional to RMS current
  • 3.3V–5V supply
  • Better linearity than ACS712 at low currents

Isabella A. ★★★★★

The scaling to a clean analogue voltage made calibration painless—I had reliable readings on my first try. The 5A range covers my small appliance loads perfectly, and the transformer's sensitivity is spot-on for hobby projects.

Sofia ★★★★★

I bought this to track how much power my window AC unit actually draws, and the analog output was dead simple to read on my Uno's ADC. It handles the 5A rated range without any noticeable drift, which surprised me for the price.

Michael ★★★★★

Wired this into an Arduino to log my washing machine's current draw and the readings track almost perfectly with my clamp meter. The 5A rating is plenty for household loads, and the analogue output was easy to scale in code.
