Convenient Current Measurement for Existing Electrical Systems
Current transformers such as the Carlo Gavazzi CTD-5S convert the current flowing through a primary conductor into a lower proportional secondary current suitable for compatible measuring instruments. This allows energy meters, power analysers and monitoring systems to measure electrical loads without requiring the full primary circuit current to pass directly through the measuring device.
The split-core construction of the CTD5S1251AXXX makes it particularly useful for retrofit projects. The transformer can be opened and positioned around an existing conductor, helping reduce installation disruption while its 125/1 A ratio provides a standard 1 A secondary signal for compatible electrical measurement equipment.
