Seasonic Unveils the World's Smallest Sensor, New MaxFlow Fans, and Branded PSU Cables

The Seasonic latest sensor is something that many DIY enthusiasts and professionals have waited for years. This pocket-sized device, once attached to a power cable, can read and provide real-time data. It measures temperature, voltage, amperage, frequency, power factor, power and load (last three derived). Pretty impressive to say at least.

A new MaxFlow series 120 mm fan was also unveiled at Computex, alongside Seasonic new branded power supplies cables. Back to the MaxFlow 12030 fan, it has a 30 mm deep blade with a 2B bearing design. Other specs are a 146 CFM, 3300 RPM with Seasonic Hybrid Fan control with three-speed settings (silent, hybrid, performance), and a noise level of 46.2 dBA max.

Will this work on AC power cables too?

Considering it goes up to 250 Amps, I would hope so.

Considering that the last picture shows a "Frequency (Hz)" data point, it does.
Or I misunderstood and the question was for High Power Cables and not if AC is possible too.

Right, yes, that too.

It's a successful design, and in a similar case, many copied the legacy Nidec Gentle Typhoons anyway, which themselves were derived from server-grade fans.

At any rate, it seems like 30mm is slowly becoming the new standard to improve cooling as opposed to trying to engineer some more within the confines of 25mm, and is entering server-level thicknesses (a Nidec UltraFlo has a 30mm thickness but far higher static pressure/airflow at the expense of noise).

Compared to the T30, these Seasonic fans have a different number of blades and aero foil shape appears to be quite different as well, so I'm not sure why you'd think they're copying Phanteks

I was wondering if it could be used to monitor the main power supply to a home?

It looks like the sensor can, but it's unclear how you collect the data.
