Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CTG050 Core Balance Transformer?
The Carlo Gavazzi CTG050 is a sensitive core balance transformer designed for detecting earth leakage currents in industrial electrical systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi CTG series, it monitors current imbalance through conductors passing through the transformer core and provides a secondary output signal for use with compatible residual current monitoring relays.
The CTG050 features a 50 mm internal diameter and is designed for straightforward installation in electrical panels, switchboards and industrial control systems. It is suitable for single-phase and three-phase mains applications and is approved for use with Carlo Gavazzi DEA71 and DEB71 earth leakage monitoring relays.
With a 1000/1 current transformer ratio, a 100 A nominal current rating and a 720 V AC maximum system voltage, the CTG050 provides reliable residual current detection for applications including motors, pumps and electrical equipment where earth leakage protection is required.

Reliable Earth Leakage Detection for Industrial Systems
Core balance transformers such as the Carlo Gavazzi CTG050 detect differences between current flowing through phase conductors and the neutral conductor. When an imbalance occurs due to leakage current, the transformer generates a secondary signal that can be processed by a residual current monitoring device to provide an alarm or protective disconnection.
The CTG series provides a practical solution for improving electrical safety in industrial installations, helping protect motors, pumps and equipment where insulation faults or leakage currents may create hazardous conditions.
Typical Applications
- Earth leakage monitoring systems.
- Industrial motor protection applications.
- Pump and machinery protection systems.
- Electrical distribution panels.
- Industrial equipment protection.
- Automation and power monitoring installations.
