Why Choose the Lovato DM1TA1000 Split-Core Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM1TA1000 is a dependable split-core current transformer designed for measuring high electrical currents in industrial power distribution, energy management and electrical monitoring systems. With a 1000/5 A transformation ratio, it converts a primary current of up to 1000 A into a standard 5 A secondary signal for compatible ammeters, energy meters, multifunction measuring instruments and monitoring equipment.
Its split-core construction enables the transformer to be opened and installed around an existing cable or busbar without disconnecting the primary conductor. This makes the DM1TA1000 particularly suitable for retrofit installations, electrical system upgrades and energy-monitoring projects where minimising disruption and installation time is important.
Featuring a large 52 × 80 mm internal opening, the transformer can accommodate substantial conductors and rectangular busbars used in industrial switchboards and distribution panels. It provides a rated burden of 5 VA at accuracy class 0.5 and 10 VA at accuracy class 1, supporting reliable current measurement across a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

Reliable Current Measurement for High-Load Systems
Current transformers allow high electrical currents to be measured safely by converting the primary current into a proportional secondary signal. The Lovato DM1TA1000 reduces a primary current of up to 1000 A to a standard 5 A output, allowing compatible measuring instruments to monitor electrical loads without being connected directly to the high-current circuit.
The split-core format is especially useful when adding metering equipment to an existing installation. The transformer can be opened, positioned around the conductor and secured without removing the cable or busbar. This supports efficient installation in operational switchboards while helping reduce downtime and modification work.
