Why Choose the ABB CT4/300 Current Transformer?
The ABB CT4/300, order code 2CSG221140R1101, is a 300 A/5 A current transformer designed for electrical metering and current measurement applications. Part of ABB's Metering Accessories range, it converts a high primary current into a standardised 5 A secondary current that can be measured safely by compatible meters and electrical measuring instruments.
With a 300 A primary rated current and 5 A secondary output, the CT4/300 provides a transformation ratio of 300:5. This allows measurement equipment to monitor substantial electrical loads without carrying the full primary circuit current through the measuring instrument itself.
The CT4/300 combines accuracy class 0.5 performance with a rated output of 6 VA, making it suitable for accurate electrical metering and monitoring. Its through-primary construction allows the monitored cable or busbar to pass through the transformer aperture, providing a practical solution for switchboards, distribution systems and energy monitoring installations.

Reliable Current Measurement for Electrical Metering
Current transformers allow electrical measuring instruments to monitor high-current circuits by producing a lower secondary current proportional to the current flowing through the primary conductor. This provides a practical interface between high-current electrical distribution circuits and compatible energy meters, ammeters, network analysers and monitoring equipment.
The ABB CT4/300 reduces a nominal 300 A primary current to a 5 A secondary current. Its class 0.5 accuracy and 6 VA rated output make it well suited to metering applications where dependable current measurement is required in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems.
