What is this cable harness for?
The Anker SOLIX single CT cable harness belongs to the family of current-measurement accessories. CT usually stands for current transformer: a sensor placed around a conductor to measure the current flowing through it without opening the circuit. An energy management system relies on this kind of reading to know what the home is consuming and to adapt its behaviour. This model is the single version, with one measurement point, and its stated rating is 120 A.
The manufacturer data available to us does not list the compatible devices, so consult the Anker manual before choosing it.
Who is it for?
Households
In a home equipped with Anker SOLIX energy storage, this harness can feed the unit with information about the current on the domestic circuit. The aim is to match battery charging and discharging to actual consumption.
Professionals
An installer can use it on a residential job or in a small commercial unit where only one line needs to be measured. For several lines, triple versions exist in the same family.
Design and set-up
This is a pre-assembled harness: the sensor and its cables come as a single set, so there are no separate parts to put together. The data supplied states neither the cable length, the sensor opening diameter nor the connector type, so check these points in the documentation before you buy.
When fitting it, keep clear access to the conductor to be measured and follow the mounting direction given by the manufacturer. Any work inside the distribution board must be left to a qualified installer, with the installation switched off.
Strengths of this model
- Single version, a clear choice when only one line must be measured.
- 120 A rating, which leaves headroom for high-current lines.
- Ready-to-connect set with no separate components to assemble.
- Made by a recognised name in home energy storage.
Technical specifications
- Brand: Anker
- Type: single CT cable harness
- Rating: 120 A
Choosing well before installing
Before settling on this single version, count the lines your system needs to watch. One measurement point is enough for a single incoming feed; as soon as several conductors must be followed, a triple version will make more sense. Also note where the future unit will sit: the distance between the board and the storage unit decides whether the harness length, which the data does not state, will be sufficient.
It helps to photograph the board before the work starts, so the installer can easily identify the spot planned for the sensor and the cable route.
Safety
Never exceed the stated rating and do not modify the cables. Do not clamp the sensor on a damaged conductor. Keep the harness away from moisture, excessive heat and sharp edges: since no protection rating is given, do not expose it to the weather without the manufacturer’s advice.
Care and storage
Inspect the sheath and connectors regularly; a split sheath or an oxidised contact calls for replacement. When not installed, store the harness loosely coiled in a dry, moderate place, protected from knocks.
