SSCM240CT – Simple Switch – Model 240CT – 40 amp Split CT Load..Shed Device

The split-core current transformer clamps around the monitored conductor without requiring any rewiring or service interruption. It continuously senses the current draw on that circuit; when consumption approaches or exceeds the programmed threshold, the SSCM240CT signals the connected load to shed (switch off), preventing an overload condition. Once demand drops, the shed load can be re-enabled automatically.

The SSCM240CT is rated at 40 amps and is typically used to shed high-draw secondary loads such as EV chargers, electric water heaters, electric dryers, pool heaters, or HVAC equipment. It is ideal for situations where a new high-demand appliance (like an EV charger) is being added to a service that is already near capacity, avoiding the need for a costly service upgrade.
