Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CTD8H20005AXXX CTD-8H Current Transformer?

The Carlo Gavazzi CTD8H20005AXXX is a high-capacity solid-core current transformer (CT) designed for accurate AC current measurement in electrical distribution, energy monitoring and industrial power management applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi CTD-8H current transformer series, it converts high primary currents into a standard secondary current suitable for compatible energy meters, power analysers and electrical monitoring equipment.

This current transformer features a 2000 A rated primary current and 5 A secondary output, providing a 2000/5 A transformation ratio. Its accuracy class 0.5 and 20 VA rated burden at class 0.5 make it particularly suitable for demanding electrical metering and monitoring applications where reliable measurement of high currents is required.

The CTD8H20005AXXX is designed for large conductors and busbars, with a nominal 80 × 30 mm busbar capacity and an approximately 81 × 31 mm rectangular aperture. Its horizontal CTD-8H configuration, solid-core construction and screw-terminal secondary connections make it well suited to main switchboards, distribution panels and industrial electrical installations.

Key Advantages

  • Solid-core 2000/5 A current transformer for high-current AC measurement.
  • Accuracy class 0.5 for dependable electrical metering and monitoring.
  • 20 VA rated burden at class 0.5 for compatible measurement circuits.
  • 5 A secondary output compatible with a wide range of industrial meters and power analysers.
  • Large 80 × 30 mm nominal busbar capacity for substantial electrical conductors.
  • Rectangular opening of approximately 81 × 31 mm for convenient busbar installation.
  • Horizontal configuration designed for practical installation in electrical switchboards.
  • Screw-terminal secondary connections provide secure and convenient electrical termination.

Key Features

  • Carlo Gavazzi CTD-8H current transformer series.
  • 2000 A rated primary current.
  • 5 A rated secondary current.
  • 2000/5 A transformation ratio.
  • 400:1 current ratio.
  • Accuracy class 0.5.
  • 20 VA rated burden at accuracy class 0.5.
  • 25 VA rated burden at accuracy class 1.
  • 30 VA rated burden at accuracy class 3.
  • 80 × 30 mm nominal busbar size.
  • 31 mm aperture height.
  • 81 mm maximum busbar width.
  • Horizontal solid-core construction with screw-terminal secondary connections.

Reliable High-Current Measurement for Electrical Monitoring

Current transformers such as the Carlo Gavazzi CTD8H20005AXXX allow high AC currents to be measured by converting the current flowing through the primary conductor into a proportional lower secondary current. The resulting 5 A signal can be connected to compatible energy meters, multifunction meters, power analysers and electrical monitoring equipment without requiring the full primary current to pass directly through the measuring instrument.

The CTD-8H series is designed for industrial electrical distribution systems where substantial busbars and high primary currents need to be monitored. Its solid-core construction, class 0.5 measurement accuracy, large rectangular aperture and standard 5 A secondary output make the CTD8H20005AXXX particularly suitable for main switchboards, distribution panels and energy monitoring installations requiring measurement of currents up to 2000 A.

Typical Applications

  • High-current electrical energy metering systems.
  • Main switchboards and electrical distribution panels.
  • Industrial power analysers and multifunction meters.
  • Building and industrial energy management systems.
  • Large busbar monitoring installations.
  • Industrial load and electrical consumption monitoring.
