Why Choose the Lovato DM3TA2000 2000/5 A Split-Core Current Transformer?

The Lovato DM3TA2000 is a split-core current transformer designed for high-current electrical metering and monitoring applications. With a rated primary current of 2000 A and a standard 5 A secondary output, it provides a 2000/5 A transformation ratio for compatible energy meters, power analysers, ammeters and other measuring equipment.

Its 80 × 120 mm conductor opening accommodates large busbars used in industrial and commercial power distribution systems. The split-core construction allows the transformer to be opened and fitted around an existing conductor, making the DM3TA2000 particularly useful for retrofit metering installations where disconnecting or removing a large busbar would be impractical.

Designed for 50–60 Hz systems, the DM3TA2000 provides 17 VA at Class 1 and supports continuous operation at up to 120% of rated primary current. A 720 V rated insulation voltage, Class E dry-type insulation, screw secondary terminals and IP30 protection provide a robust solution for professional high-current measurement.

Key Advantages

  • 2000/5 A transformation ratio for high-current electrical measurement.
  • Split-core construction simplifies installation around existing busbars and conductors.
  • Large 80 × 120 mm conductor opening for substantial busbar installations.
  • Class 1 accuracy with a 17 VA burden.
  • Standard 5 A secondary output for compatible measuring equipment.
  • Supports 120% continuous overload of rated primary current.
  • 720 V rated insulation voltage for low-voltage electrical systems.
  • Well suited to retrofit energy metering and power-monitoring installations.

Key Features

  • Lovato DM3TA split-core current transformer.
  • 2000 A rated primary current.
  • 5 A rated secondary current.
  • 2000/5 A transformation ratio.
  • 120 × 80 mm opening.
  • 50–60 Hz operating frequency.
  • 17 VA rated burden at Class 1.
  • FS 5 overcurrent limiting factor.
  • 720 V rated insulation voltage.
  • Class E dry-type insulation.
  • Screw secondary terminals.
  • Screw fixing.
  • IP30 protection rating.

High-Current Retrofit Measurement with a Split-Core CT

A current transformer converts a high primary current into a proportional secondary current suitable for compatible measuring instrumentation. With the DM3TA2000, a rated primary current of 2000 A corresponds to a 5 A secondary output, allowing energy meters and power analysers to monitor high-current circuits without carrying the full primary load current through the measuring device.

The split-core construction is especially advantageous when metering is being added to an existing installation. The DM3TA2000 can be opened and positioned around a suitable busbar or conductor rather than requiring the conductor to be passed through a closed transformer core. Its large 120 × 80 mm opening makes it particularly suitable for substantial busbar systems in industrial switchboards and commercial electrical distribution equipment.

Typical Applications

  • High-current energy metering installations.
  • Industrial switchboards and main distribution panels.
  • Commercial building electrical distribution.
  • Retrofit energy-monitoring projects.
  • Power analyser current inputs.
  • Large busbar current measurement.
  • Electrical load and consumption analysis.
  • Energy management and sub-metering systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Lovato DM3TA2000 used for?

The DM3TA2000 is a split-core current transformer used to convert a rated primary current of 2000 A into a standard 5 A secondary current for compatible electrical metering and monitoring equipment.

What is the current ratio of the Lovato DM3TA2000?

The DM3TA2000 has a transformation ratio of 2000/5 A, meaning a rated primary current of 2000 A corresponds to a 5 A secondary output.

What size opening does the Lovato DM3TA2000 have?

The DM3TA2000 has a rectangular conductor opening measuring 120 × 80 mm, making it suitable for large busbars and conductors that fit within this opening.

What accuracy and burden does the DM3TA2000 provide?

The DM3TA2000 provides Class 1 accuracy with a rated secondary burden of 17 VA.

Why use a split-core current transformer?

A split-core current transformer can be opened and installed around an existing conductor without passing the conductor through a closed core. This makes the DM3TA2000 particularly convenient for retrofit metering and monitoring installations.
