Measuring AC current with an Arduino can be a little tricky. The use of this Itead TA12-100 current transformer makes it possible.

Current sensor ICs allow design engineers to use Hall-effect-based current

sensor ICs in new applications where increased energy efficiency or new operating

features are required.
