Lovato DM2TA0250 split-core current transformer with a 250/5 A transformation ratio, 80 x 80 mm opening, 1 VA class 0.5 burden and 2 VA class 1 burden for electrical metering and energy monitoring.
£133.60
The Lovato DM2TA0250 is a robust split-core current transformer designed for reliable current measurement in industrial switchboards, electrical distribution panels and energy-monitoring systems. Featuring a 250/5 A transformation ratio, it converts a primary current of up to 250 A into a standard 5 A secondary output for connection to compatible energy meters, ammeters, multifunction measuring instruments and power analysers.
Its split-core construction enables the transformer to be opened and installed around an existing conductor or busbar without disconnecting the primary circuit. This makes the DM2TA0250 particularly suitable for retrofit metering projects, energy-management upgrades and operational installations where reducing electrical downtime is important.
The transformer features a large 80 × 80 mm internal opening suitable for substantial cables and busbars used within industrial power-distribution equipment. Operating at 50/60 Hz, it provides a burden of 1 VA at accuracy class 0.5 and 2 VA at accuracy class 1, supporting dependable measurement across a wide range of electrical monitoring applications.
Current transformers provide a safe method of measuring high electrical currents by converting the primary current into a proportional secondary signal suitable for compatible instrumentation. The Lovato DM2TA0250 converts a primary current of up to 250 A into a standard 5 A secondary output, enabling energy meters and monitoring equipment to measure electrical loads without direct connection to the high-current circuit.
The split-core design is particularly valuable when adding metering equipment to an existing electrical installation. The transformer can be opened, positioned around the cable or busbar and securely closed without removing the primary conductor. This helps reduce installation labour, system modification and operational disruption.

The DM2TA0250 is used to measure electrical currents in switchboards, distribution panels and energy-monitoring systems. It converts a primary current of up to 250 A into a standard 5 A secondary output.
The current transformer has a 250/5 A transformation ratio, meaning that a nominal primary current of 250 A corresponds to a 5 A secondary current.
Yes. Its split-core construction allows the transformer to be opened and fitted around an existing cable or busbar without disconnecting the primary conductor.
The transformer has a large 80 × 80 mm internal opening, making it suitable for substantial cables and rectangular busbars within those dimensions.
The transformer provides a burden of 1 VA at accuracy class 0.5 and 2 VA at accuracy class 1, depending on the connected secondary circuit and measuring equipment.
Lovato Electric current transformers are used by panel builders, electrical contractors and industrial engineers to provide reliable current measurement, practical retrofit installation and dependable integration with modern energy-monitoring equipment.
