1m

This Victron Energy current transformer is rated 100A:50mA and made for the MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid-II. It has a 1m cable and a jack connector. It gives the inverter external current sensing, so it can run PowerControl and PowerAssist and work toward better self-consumption. The range also includes wire-end versions, and cable lengths of 5 and 20 meter as well as 1.

Our take

At 1m with a jack connector, this current transformer has to sit close to the MultiPlus-II it feeds. The range also offers 5 and 20 meter cables when the sensing point is further away, so check the distance before choosing a length.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
