Why Choose the ABB CT1M-S-80 250 Current Transformer?
The ABB CT1M-S-80 250, order code 2CSG280765R1000, is a 250 A/5 A through-primary current transformer designed for indirect measurement of electrical parameters in metering, monitoring and energy management applications. Part of ABB's Metering Accessories range, it transforms a nominal 250 A primary current into a standardised 5 A secondary current for compatible electricity meters, network analysers and measuring instruments.
As part of the ABB CT1M-S-80 series, the CT1M-S-80 250 is designed for indirect current measurement in electrical distribution systems. ABB specifies the CT1M range according to IEC 61869-2, providing a practical solution for transforming higher primary currents into standard 5 A secondary signals that can be measured by compatible instrumentation.
With a 250 A rated primary current, 5 A rated secondary current and accuracy class 0.5, the CT1M-S-80 250 provides a 250:5 transformation ratio. It delivers 1 VA at class 0.5, 2.5 VA at class 1 and 3.75 VA at class 3, while the CT1M-S-80 series through-primary opening accommodates vertical busbars up to 85 × 55 mm.

Accurate Indirect Measurement for Electrical Distribution Systems
Current transformers allow meters and measuring instruments to monitor electrical circuits carrying currents above their direct measurement range. The transformer produces a proportional secondary current, allowing electrical parameters to be measured without routing the full primary circuit current through the connected measuring instrument.
The ABB CT1M-S-80 250 converts a nominal 250 A primary current into a 5 A secondary current. Its class 0.5 accuracy and CT1M-S-80 through-primary format make it suitable for indirect current measurement in distribution boards, switchboards, energy monitoring systems and other installations where compatible 5 A measuring instrumentation is used.
Typical Applications
- Electrical energy metering systems.
- Commercial and industrial power distribution installations.
- Distribution boards and electrical switchboards.
- Indirect measurement of circuits with a 250 A nominal current.
- Energy monitoring and management systems.
- Current measurement with compatible network analysers, meters and instrumentation.
- Vertical busbar current measurement.
- Industrial panel-building and electrical instrumentation applications.
