Why Choose the ABB CT1M-2 200 Current Transformer?
The ABB CT1M-2 200, order code 2CSG280275R1000, is a compact 200 A/5 A 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 higher primary currents into a standardised 5 A secondary current for compatible electricity meters, network analysers and measuring instruments.
As part of the ABB CT1M current transformer series, the CT1M-2 200 is manufactured in accordance with IEC 61869-2 and uses a through-primary construction. The monitored cable or busbar passes through the transformer aperture, providing a straightforward current sensing solution for electrical distribution panels, switchboards and energy monitoring systems.
With a 200 A rated primary current, 5 A rated secondary current and accuracy class 0.5, the CT1M-2 200 provides a 200:5 transformation ratio for accurate indirect electrical measurement. It provides 3.75 VA at class 0.5 and 5 VA at classes 1 and 3, operates at 50–60 Hz and features an IP20 protection rating.

Reliable Indirect Measurement for Electrical 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-2 200 converts a nominal 200 A primary current into a 5 A secondary current. Its class 0.5 accuracy, through-primary construction and compact dimensions make it suitable for integrating accurate indirect current measurement into commercial and industrial electrical distribution and energy monitoring systems.
Typical Applications
- Electrical energy metering systems.
- Commercial and industrial distribution panels.
- Electrical switchboards and control cabinets.
- Indirect current measurement applications.
- Energy monitoring and management systems.
- Current measurement with compatible network analysers and meters.
- Cable and busbar current measurement.
- Panel-building and electrical instrumentation applications.
