Why Choose the Lovato DM2T0100 Solid-Core Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM2T0100 is a reliable solid-core current transformer designed for accurate current measurement in industrial switchboards, distribution panels and energy-monitoring systems. Featuring a 100/5 A transformation ratio, it converts a primary current of up to 100 A into a standard 5 A secondary output for connection to compatible ammeters, energy meters, multifunction measuring instruments and power analysers.
Its solid-core construction provides a secure and durable measurement solution for new electrical installations where the primary conductor can be passed through the transformer during assembly. The DM2T0100 accommodates round cables up to 23 mm in diameter and supports several common rectangular busbar sizes, offering installation flexibility within industrial control panels and low-voltage distribution equipment.
Operating at 50/60 Hz, the DM2T0100 provides a rated burden of 1 VA at accuracy class 1. Its compact housing, screw-terminal secondary connections and snap-mounting capability help simplify installation while providing dependable current measurement for monitoring electrical loads and energy consumption.

Dependable Current Measurement for Electrical Panels
Current transformers provide a safe method of monitoring high electrical currents by producing a proportional lower-current output for compatible measuring instruments. The Lovato DM2T0100 converts a primary current of up to 100 A into a standard 5 A secondary signal, enabling accurate measurement without connecting monitoring equipment directly to the high-current circuit.
The solid-core construction is particularly suitable for new switchboard and control-panel assemblies. During installation, the cable or busbar is passed through the transformer opening before the primary circuit is connected. This creates a secure installation suitable for continuous electrical load monitoring, energy measurement and power-management applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial switchboards and distribution panels.
- Energy meters and multifunction measuring instruments.
- Power analysers and electrical monitoring systems.
- Building energy-management systems.
- Industrial machinery and automation panels.
- Electrical load and demand monitoring.
- Commercial power-distribution installations.
- New panel-building and switchgear projects.
