Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CTA6X400A5A Current Transformer?

The Carlo Gavazzi CTA6X400A5A is a split-core current transformer designed for AC current measurement in electrical metering and energy monitoring systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CTA series, its split-core construction allows the transformer to be fitted around an existing conductor without disconnecting the primary cable, making it particularly convenient for retrofit installations.

The CTA6X400A5A has a rated primary current of 400 A and a standard 5 A secondary output, providing a 400:5 current transformation ratio. Its Class 1 accuracy and 50/60 Hz operating frequency make it suitable for connection to compatible energy meters, power analysers and electrical measuring equipment with 5 A current transformer inputs.

A 36 mm conductor opening accommodates suitably sized primary cables, while the integrated 1 m secondary cable simplifies connection to associated measuring equipment. With its combination of split-core installation, dependable measurement performance and standardised 5 A output, the CTA6X400A5A is well suited to commercial and industrial energy monitoring applications.

Key Advantages

  • Split-core construction enables installation around existing conductors.
  • 400 A primary current rating for commercial and industrial electrical systems.
  • Standard 5 A secondary output for compatible meters and measuring instruments.
  • Class 1 accuracy supports dependable energy measurement.
  • Large 36 mm conductor opening accommodates substantial primary cables.
  • Integrated 1 m secondary cable supports straightforward installation and connection.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi CTA series current transformer.
  • Split-core current sensing construction.
  • 400 A rated primary current.
  • 5 A secondary current.
  • 400:5 current transformation ratio.
  • Class 1 measurement accuracy.
  • 5 VA rated secondary apparent power.
  • 36 mm conductor opening.
  • 50/60 Hz frequency range.
  • 1 m fixed secondary cable.
  • Designed for electrical metering and energy monitoring.

Flexible Current Measurement for Energy Monitoring

Current transformers allow higher AC currents to be measured indirectly by converting the primary current into a proportional secondary signal suitable for compatible measuring equipment. A standard 5 A secondary output enables the CTA6X400A5A to interface with a wide range of energy meters and power monitoring instruments designed for external current transformers.

The split-core construction of the Carlo Gavazzi CTA6X400A5A makes it especially useful for retrofit energy monitoring projects. The core can be opened and installed around an existing conductor, reducing the need to disconnect or reroute primary cabling while providing a 400:5 transformation ratio and Class 1 measurement accuracy.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial electrical energy monitoring.
  • Commercial building energy metering.
  • Electrical distribution panel monitoring.
  • Power and energy management systems.
  • Retrofit current measurement installations.
  • Energy meters and power analysers with 5 A CT inputs.
