    Need inductive loop/clamp for A0 input to measure -30 to 80 amps dc

    The 0 AWG cables were supplied by the solar distributor I used and yes, I suspect it is primarily to minimize resistance between the battery bank and the inverter (reduce any losses/ inefficiencies as much as possible is a solar mantra). There are actually 2 wires, the 0AWG which connects to the...

    Need inductive loop/clamp for A0 input to measure -30 to 80 amps dc

    Thanks again but I found these as well and the inside diameter does not meet the size I mentioned (min 20-25mm).

    Need inductive loop/clamp for A0 input to measure -30 to 80 amps dc

    Thanks so much Bluejets but the cables between the battery bank and loads is 0 AWG, I could never manage to connect the ACS758 in circuit for wire that size. That is why I was seeking an inductive pickup.

    Need advice on advancing from Arduino boards and next steps

    Check out nodemcu on google and amazon. Basically Arduino with wifi. Program it with Arduino as well.

    12volt solar power cables

    Battery loading realities: At fully charged your batteries will offer you 450a/hr @ 6v (in parrallel) or 225a /hr @ 12v (in series). Power(w) = Volt(v) X Current(a) so then Current(a) = Power(w) / Voltage(v) At 12v the current draw for a...

    Need inductive loop/clamp for A0 input to measure -30 to 80 amps dc

    I desire to measure whether a solar battery bank is currently being charged (+ amps) or discharged (- amps) which changes based on sun /charge (max 80a) and load draw overnight (max -30a). The A0 (analog) input feed is to an Arduino NANO which feeds Node Red (serial, 0 -1023) running on an...
