Product Information
Full details
This Victron Energy AC Current Sensor (CSE000100000) is designed for users with Victron Multi or Quattro inverter/chargers who need to accurately measure and visualize AC current, power (VA), and energy (kWh) from a PV inverter. Its key benefit is providing clear insight into solar production, which can be monitored via a GX device and the VRM portal. A primary consideration is that it requires a compatible Victron inverter/charger with available AUX or temperature sense inputs for connection.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the primary function of the Victron Energy AC Current Sensor?
Its primary function is to measure AC current, calculate apparent power (VA), and track energy (kWh) from sources like PV inverters, allowing for visualization of solar production.
What Victron equipment is required to use this sensor?
You need a Victron Multi or Quattro inverter/charger with available AUX or temperature sense inputs, and a Victron GX device for data display and remote monitoring.
Can this sensor be used to measure DC current?
No, this sensor is specifically designed for measuring AC current only.
How is the sensor connected to the inverter/charger?
It connects via two measurement wires to either the AUX input or the temperature sense input terminals on compatible Victron Multi or Quattro devices.
Where can I view the measurements from the sensor?
Measurements can be viewed on the connected Victron GX device and remotely via the Victron Remote Management (VRM) website.
What are the physical dimensions of the sensor?
The sensor has dimensions of approximately 3.15 inches in length, 2.76 inches in width, and 1.97 inches in height.
Does the sensor require external power?
The sensor itself is powered by the connected Multi or Quattro inverter/charger through the AUX or temperature sense input, it does not require a separate power supply.
Troubleshooting
Sensor not providing readings
Verify the sensor is correctly wired to the AUX or temperature input on the Multi/Quattro. Check that the sensor is properly clamped around the AC cable. Ensure the sensor is enabled in the GX device configuration and that the correct input is selected.
Inaccurate power or energy readings
Confirm that voltage measurements are also available and accurate in the system. Ensure the sensor is correctly oriented according to current flow if indicated. Check for any potential interference or loose connections.
Data not appearing on VRM Portal
Ensure the GX device is connected to the internet and has a stable connection. Verify that VRM remote logging is enabled in the GX device settings. Check that the correct device instance for the AC Current Sensor is registered in the VRM portal configuration.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides detailed insights into PV inverter performance.
- Integrates seamlessly with Victron's GX ecosystem and VRM portal.
- Simple and compact external sensor design.
- Facilitates energy usage and production tracking.
- Offers flexible connection options to inverter/chargers.
Cons
- Requires a compatible Victron Multi or Quattro inverter/charger.
- Only measures AC current; relies on other inputs for voltage to calculate power.
- Installation requires basic electrical wiring knowledge.
- Data visualization is dependent on GX device and VRM portal setup.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This AC Current Sensor is designed to work with Victron Energy Multi and Quattro inverter/chargers that have available AUX or temperature sensor inputs. Ensure your GX device is also configured for remote monitoring.
Setup:
- Installation: The sensor is typically clamped around the AC cable carrying the current you wish to measure (e.g., the AC output of a PV inverter). Ensure the arrow on the sensor points in the direction of current flow if applicable.
- Wiring: Connect the sensor's measurement wires to the designated AUX or temperature sense input terminals on your Victron Multi or Quattro. Refer to the Victron inverter/charger manual for specific terminal assignments.
- Configuration: In the GX device's configuration menu, enable the AC Current Sensor and select the correct input it is connected to. Ensure the system is set up to send data to the VRM portal.
Care:
- Keep the sensor clean and free from dust or debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
- Ensure all connections remain secure to prevent intermittent readings.
- Periodically check the wiring for any signs of damage.
