Current Transformers
Current transformers (CTs) step primary current down to a 5 A or 1 A secondary for meters, analysers and protection relays. We stock Carlo Gavazzi and Lovato Electric solid-core, split-core and busbar CTs from 50/5 A up to 3000/5 A, including MID-certified kits for fiscal metering, plus ABB units.

Shop Transducers →Choosing the Right Energy Metering Products
Measuring energy accurately starts with the right meter for the circuit and the right current transformers to feed it. Consider the current level, the accuracy class you need and how the data will be collected.
Panel-mounted energy analysers and meters display voltage, current, power and energy on the front of the panel and log data over Modbus or Ethernet.
