VICTRON ENERGY AC current sensor 40A single-phase (CSE000100000)

Simple external AC current sensor for measuring AC current, power (VA) and calculating energy (kWh) of a PV inverter

• For max. 40A input current
• For connection to Victron Multi or Quattro
• Display via GX device or VRM website

The Victron Energy AC current sensor (MPN CSE000100000) is a simple external current sensor for max. 40A input current. It is used to measure AC current, power (VA) and to calculate the energy (kWh) of a PV inverter. The sensor is connected to the AC input or output of a Multi or Quattro. The values can then be displayed and sent by the Color Control to the VRM website or a GX device. The two measurement cables can be connected to the AUX and/or temperature sensing input of a Multi or Quattro.

• Multi and Quattro hardware requirements

The Multi or Quattro must have the new microprocessor: ensure that the 7-digit firmware version number printed on the microprocessor starts with 26 or 27

The TEMP sense input of all Multi and Quattro is suitable for the AC current sensor

For Multiplus-II hardware version 0 to 8, the AUX input is on the RJ12 connector, pin 1 and 5. In later versions, the AUX input is again available as a normal terminal

The Multi or Quattro must be connected to the VE.Bus port of the Color Control GX: the display does not work if the VE.Can port is connected via a VE.Bus to VE.Can interface cable.

• Installation

Pull one of the AC cables of the PV inverter through the AC current sensor

Connect the sensor in the same phase to the AUX or TEMP sense input of an inverter, Multi or Quattro, in which it is measured by this current sensor

Configure the power range with the DIP switches. Choose a power that is equal to or higher than the maximum expected power. For a 4kW PV installation, the correct DIP switch setting is e.g. 5kW
