Carlo Gavazzi CTG070 core balance transformer with a 70 mm internal diameter and 1000/1 ratio designed for earth leakage current detection applications.
£58.23
The Carlo Gavazzi CTG070 is a high-sensitivity core balance transformer designed for detecting earth leakage currents in industrial electrical systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi CTG series, it monitors the difference in current flow through conductors passing through the transformer core and provides a secondary output signal for use with compatible residual current monitoring relays.
The CTG070 features a 70 mm internal diameter and is designed for straightforward panel mounting in industrial switchboards, control panels and electrical protection systems. The CTG series supports both 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 160 A nominal current rating and a 720 V AC maximum system voltage, the CTG070 provides reliable residual current detection for applications including motors, pumps and electrical equipment where earth leakage monitoring is required.
Core balance transformers such as the Carlo Gavazzi CTG070 detect differences between current flowing through phase conductors and the neutral conductor. When a current imbalance occurs due to insulation faults or leakage, 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 leakage currents may create hazardous conditions.
