Why Choose the Lovato DM4TA2500 Split-Core Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM4TA2500 is a high-capacity split-core current transformer designed for accurate current measurement in industrial switchboards, electrical distribution systems and energy monitoring installations. With a rated primary current of 2500 A and a standard 5 A secondary output, it converts high line currents into a safe and proportional signal for compatible energy meters, network analysers, ammeters and protection equipment.
Unlike a conventional solid-core transformer, the DM4TA2500 features an opening split-core construction that can be installed around an existing conductor or busbar without disconnecting the primary circuit. This makes it particularly useful for retrofit projects, energy-management upgrades and maintenance work where minimising disruption and installation time is important.
The transformer features a generous 80 × 160 mm internal opening for large conductors and busbar assemblies. It provides a rated burden of 15 VA at accuracy class 0.5 and 20 VA at accuracy class 1, delivering reliable measurement performance for demanding high-current applications.
Key Advantages
High-capacity 2500/5 A current transformation ratio.
Split-core construction permits installation around existing conductors.
Large 80 × 160 mm internal opening for substantial busbar systems.
Helps reduce installation time by avoiding primary conductor disconnection.
Class 0.5 and class 1 accuracy performance for metering and monitoring.
Suitable for energy meters, network analysers, ammeters and protection relays.
Key Features
Lovato Electric DM series current transformer.
Split-core design for convenient retrofit installation.
2500 A rated primary current.
5 A rated secondary current.
50/60 Hz operating frequency.
15 VA burden at accuracy class 0.5.
20 VA burden at accuracy class 1.
120% rated primary-current overload withstand.
80 × 160 mm conductor opening.
Secure screw-terminal secondary connections.
Flexible High-Current Measurement for Existing Installations
Current transformers reduce high primary currents to a standard secondary value that can be measured safely by compatible electrical instruments. The Lovato DM4TA2500 converts a primary current of up to 2500 A into a proportional 5 A signal, allowing connected equipment to monitor electrical loads without carrying the full line current.
Its split-core construction allows the transformer to be opened and positioned around an installed conductor or busbar. This provides a practical solution for adding energy monitoring, upgrading an existing metering system or replacing a current transformer where dismantling the primary circuit would be difficult, costly or disruptive.
Typical Applications
Retrofit energy-metering installations.
High-current industrial switchboards.
Electrical distribution and busbar systems.
Power quality and energy monitoring equipment.
Digital multimeters and network analysers.
Current indication and monitoring systems.
Protection relay installations.
Commercial buildings and manufacturing facilities.
