Reliable Indirect Current Measurement for Metering Systems
Current transformers enable measuring instruments to monitor circuits carrying currents that would otherwise be unsuitable for direct connection. The ABB CT1M-2 60 transforms a rated 60 A primary current into a proportional 5 A secondary signal, allowing compatible meters and instruments to measure electrical parameters while remaining isolated from the full primary current.
The combination of class 1 accuracy, a 1.5 VA class 1 burden and a standard 5 A secondary makes the CT1M-2 60 suitable for a wide variety of metering installations. Its through-primary design and compact dimensions also simplify integration into distribution boards where current measurement is required for energy monitoring, load analysis or electrical instrumentation.
Typical Applications
- Indirect electrical current measurement.
- Energy-meter installations with 5 A CT inputs.
- Ammeters and multifunction measuring instruments.
- Commercial and industrial switchboards.
- Electrical distribution and metering panels.
- Energy monitoring and load-analysis systems.
