The Lovato DM38T2000 is a solid-core current transformer (CT) for busbars, designed to convert high primary currents into a standard secondary current suitable for electrical measurement and monitoring equipment. Part of the Lovato DM current transformer range, it provides a 2000/5 A transformation ratio for use in high-current power distribution systems.
Designed specifically for 64 × 64 mm busbars, the DM38T2000 is well suited to switchboards, distribution panels and industrial electrical systems where accurate current measurement is required. It offers a burden of 16 VA at accuracy class 0.5 and 25 VA at accuracy class 1, enabling connection to compatible meters, energy-monitoring devices and protection relays.
The transformer operates at 50–60 Hz and provides a standard 5 A secondary output. With screw terminals, IP20 protection and mounting by either 35 mm DIN rail or screws, the DM38T2000 provides a practical measurement solution for high-current busbar installations.
Current transformers reduce a high primary conductor current to a proportional secondary current that can be safely used by compatible measuring and monitoring equipment. The Lovato DM38T2000 converts a nominal 2000 A primary current to 5 A secondary current, enabling high-current busbar circuits to be monitored without routing the full line current through the measuring instrument.
The solid-core DM38 design is optimised for power distribution busbars and fits around a 64 × 64 mm busbar. Its class 0.5 and class 1 measurement capabilities make it suitable for use with compatible ammeters, digital multimeters, energy meters and protection or monitoring relays in industrial switchboards and electrical distribution equipment.
