Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A new review or comment

Victron AC Current Sensor (CSE000100000) — is a highly accurate current transformer designed to measure alternating current (AC) parameters with a maximum load of up to 100 Amps. This sensor is specifically designed for integration with Victron GX communication control panels (Cerbo GX, Venus GX, Ekrano GX, etc.). It allows measuring the power generated by grid-tied solar inverters (PV Inverter) and displaying this data in the overall monitoring system on the VRM portal.

Advantages of the Victron AC Current Sensor

Measuring high currents (up to 100 A) without directly breaking the circuit (inductive principle).
Direct connection to a special "Sensor" input on GX family controllers.
Integration of third-party grid-tied inverters into the Victron Energy ecosystem without using expensive meters (e.g., Carlo Gavazzi).
Display of real-time solar energy generation (PV power) on the system display and in the VRM Portal.
Simple installation: the phase wire is simply passed through the ring of the current transformer.

Technical Specifications

Article: CSE000100000
Device Type: AC current sensor
Maximum Measured Current: up to 100 A (AC)
Output Signal: analog voltage (0 – 5 V)
Connection: 3-core cable (power, ground, signal)
Cable Length: 1.5 meters

Compatible Equipment and Applications

Control Controllers: Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, Venus GX, Color Control GX (devices with a physical "AC Sensor" input).
Applications: hybrid Energy Storage Systems (ESS), where solar panels are connected to a grid-tied inverter (PV inverter) operating in parallel with MultiPlus or Quattro.

Does the sensor read mains voltage?
No, the device is intended only for measuring the current strength (in amperes) flowing through the phase conductor.

Will it work for a three-phase input?
For three-phase monitoring, you will need to purchase and install three such independent sensors.

How is power supplied to the sensor?
The device is powered from the GX unit via standard communication cord.

Is it possible to track the current from a smartphone via VictronConnect?
Directly — no. Data is read through the GX module and displayed on its screen or in the VRM cloud.

Can this sensor replace a full-fledged Carlo Gavazzi electricity meter?
Only partially. The sensor can calculate the current power, but it does not account for consumed energy in kilowatt-hours.

Does it make sense to put it on the line from the generator?
Of course, it copes perfectly with the task of tracking the power output by the generator set.

Do I need to program the inputs on Cerbo GX?
Yes, in the settings of the "Analog Input" menu, you will need to indicate that a current sensor is connected.

Is the installation carried out inside the distribution board?
Yes, the ring-shaped sensor is put directly onto an insulated current-carrying core inside the panel.

Is this safe for a low voltage system?
Absolutely. The design provides 100% galvanic isolation between the high mains voltage and the controller inputs.

How high is the margin of error?
There is a margin of error, but the sensor's accuracy is more than enough to draw energy flow graphs on the VRM portal.
