Reliable Current Measurement for Electrical Monitoring
Current transformers such as the Carlo Gavazzi CTD8H7005AXXX allow AC current to be monitored by converting the current flowing through the primary conductor into a proportional lower secondary current. The resulting 5 A signal can be connected to compatible energy meters, multifunction meters, power analysers and electrical monitoring equipment without requiring the full primary current to pass directly through the measuring instrument.
The CTD-8H series is designed for industrial electrical distribution systems where substantial cables or busbars need to be accommodated. Its solid-core construction, class 0.5 measurement capability, standard 5 A secondary output and large rectangular conductor opening make the CTD8H7005AXXX particularly suitable for switchboards, distribution panels and energy monitoring systems requiring a 700 A primary current transformer.
Typical Applications
- Electrical energy metering and monitoring systems.
- Industrial switchboards and distribution panels.
- Power analysers and multifunction electrical meters.
- Building energy management systems.
- Industrial automation and power monitoring panels.
- Busbar current and electrical load monitoring.
