Why Choose the ABB CT1M-7 2500 Current Transformer?
The ABB CT1M-7 2500, order code 2CSG280515R1000, is a 2500 A/5 A through-primary current transformer designed for indirect measurement of electrical parameters in high-current 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, network analysers and measuring instruments.
As part of the ABB CT1M current transformer series, the CT1M-7 2500 is designed according to IEC 61869-2. Its through-primary construction and large 101 × 56 mm rated cross-section make it particularly suitable for substantial busbar installations in industrial distribution equipment and high-current electrical switchboards.
With a 2500 A rated primary current, 5 A rated secondary current and accuracy class 0.5, the CT1M-7 2500 provides a 2500:5 transformation ratio for accurate indirect electrical measurement. It provides a rated output of 15 VA at class 0.5, 15 VA at class 1 and 15 VA at class 3, together with an FS 10 current limiting factor.

Reliable Indirect Measurement for High-Current 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-7 2500 converts a nominal 2500 A primary current into a 5 A secondary current. Its class 0.5 accuracy, 15 VA class 0.5 output and large 101 × 56 mm rated cross-section make it suitable for accurate indirect current measurement in high-current industrial distribution, switchboard, power monitoring and energy management applications.
Typical Applications
- High-current electrical energy metering systems.
- Industrial power distribution installations.
- Main electrical switchboards and distribution boards.
- Indirect measurement of circuits with a 2500 A nominal current.
- Energy monitoring and management systems.
- Current measurement with compatible network analysers, meters and instrumentation.
- Large busbar current measurement applications.
- Industrial panel-building and electrical instrumentation systems.
