A three-channel sensor to watch a building’s supply
This cable harness brings together three current transformers, known as CTs. Each one sits around a conductor and measures the current flowing through it without opening the circuit. By combining three channels in one set, it can follow several conductors of an electrical supply at the same time, where the single version watches only one. Its stated rating is 63 A.
The manufacturer data available to us does not list compatible devices. Refer to the Anker manual to confirm that it works with your storage system.
Where to use it
In a home
A house whose connection has several conductors to monitor can benefit from such a harness: the storage system gets a fuller picture of the exchanges with the grid and can adjust its charging or discharging accordingly.
In a professional setting
A workshop, a small shop or a farm building whose line stays within the 63 A limit may also be a fit. The installer then chooses the rating according to the current actually expected on the line, with a reasonable margin.
What the data says about the design
The product is presented as a cable set prepared for measurement. The information supplied states neither the cable length, the sensor opening diameter nor the type of connectors. Do not assume these points: check them in the documentation before planning the cable route.
Careful installation
- Switch off the supply to the installation before any work.
- Identify the three conductors to be measured and their sequence.
- Fit each sensor in the direction given by the manufacturer.
- Secure the cables without stretching or pinching them.
- Have a qualified installer check everything before power is restored.
Work inside an electrical board is for an authorised professional; do not attempt it yourself without the required skills.
Strengths
- Three measurement channels in a single harness.
- 63 A rating, suited to a line of moderate current.
- Consistent with the single and triple versions in the Anker SOLIX range.
Technical specifications
- Brand: Anker
- Type: triple CT cable harness
- Rating: 63 A
Matching the harness to the site
Before buying, list the conductors of the supply you want to monitor and check that three channels match your set-up. If the line carries more than the stated rating, look for a higher-rated version rather than stretching this one. Also measure the route between the board and the storage unit, since the cable length is not given in the data.
Safety
Respect the 63 A rating: a line that would exceed this value calls for a suitable model. Do not modify the cables, do not use the harness if it is damaged, and keep it away from moisture and heat sources. As no protection rating is given, avoid any exposure to the weather without the manufacturer’s advice.
Care and storage
Check the sheath and connectors from time to time. If the harness is not installed, keep it coiled without tight folds in a dry place at moderate temperature, protected from knocks and from rodents.
