Why Choose the ABB CT1M-8 2000 Current Transformer?
The ABB CT1M-8 2000, order code 2CSG280575R1000, is a 2000 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-8 2000 is designed according to IEC 61869-2. Its large through-primary aperture supports cable and busbar installations, making it particularly suitable for industrial distribution boards, power centres and switchboards where substantial conductors must be monitored.
With a 2000 A rated primary current, 5 A rated secondary current and accuracy class 0.5, the CT1M-8 2000 provides a 2000:5 transformation ratio for accurate indirect electrical measurement. It delivers 60 VA at class 0.5, 60 VA at class 1 and 60 VA at class 3, while accommodating cables up to 73 mm and horizontal or vertical busbars up to 80 × 30 mm or 60 × 50 mm.

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-8 2000 converts a nominal 2000 A primary current into a 5 A secondary current. Its class 0.5 accuracy, 60 VA class 0.5 output and large conductor aperture make it particularly suitable for accurate indirect current measurement in industrial distribution boards, main switchboards, power centres and energy management systems using substantial cables or busbars.
Typical Applications
- High-current electrical energy metering systems.
- Industrial power distribution installations.
- Main distribution switchboards and power centres.
- Indirect measurement of circuits with a 2000 A nominal current.
- Energy monitoring and management systems.
- Current measurement with compatible network analysers, meters and instrumentation.
- Large cable and busbar current measurement.
- Industrial panel-building and electrical instrumentation applications.
