Why Choose the ABB CT1M-4 600 Current Transformer?
The ABB CT1M-4 600, order code 2CSG280405R1000, is a 600 A/5 A closed-core 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 high primary current into a standardised 5 A secondary current for compatible electricity meters, ammeters, multimeters and network measuring instruments.
As part of the ABB CT1M current transformer series, the CT1M-4 600 is designed according to IEC 61869-2. Its through-primary construction allows the monitored cable or busbar to pass through the transformer aperture, providing a robust current sensing solution for electrical distribution panels, switchboards and energy monitoring systems.
With a 600 A rated primary current, 5 A rated secondary current and accuracy class 0.5, the CT1M-4 600 provides a 600:5 transformation ratio for accurate indirect electrical measurement. It offers a rated output of 7.5 VA at class 0.5, 10 VA at class 1 and 12.5 VA at class 3, while accommodating cables up to 31 mm and horizontal busbars up to 40 × 10 mm or 30 × 20 mm.

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-4 600 converts a nominal 600 A primary current into a 5 A secondary current. Its class 0.5 accuracy, generous conductor aperture and closed-core through-primary construction make it suitable for accurate indirect current measurement in commercial and industrial electrical distribution, power monitoring and energy management systems.
Typical Applications
- Electrical energy metering systems.
- Commercial and industrial distribution panels.
- Electrical switchboards and control cabinets.
- Indirect measurement of circuits with a 600 A nominal current.
- Energy monitoring and management systems.
- Current measurement with compatible ammeters, multimeters and energy meters.
- Cable and busbar current measurement.
- Panel-building and electrical instrumentation applications.
