Carlo Gavazzi CTG160 core balance transformer with a 160 mm internal diameter and 1000/1 ratio designed for earth leakage current detection applications.
£193.22
The Carlo Gavazzi CTG160 is a high-sensitivity core balance transformer designed for reliable earth leakage current detection in industrial electrical systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi CTG series, it detects residual current by monitoring the balance of currents flowing through conductors passing through the transformer core and provides a secondary signal for use with compatible earth leakage monitoring relays.
The CTG160 features a large 160 mm internal diameter, making it suitable for installations where multiple conductors or larger cable arrangements require increased clearance. It is designed for integration into electrical distribution panels, switchboards and industrial protection systems.
With a 1000/1 current transformer ratio and a 320 A nominal current rating, the CTG160 provides accurate residual current detection for applications requiring dependable earth leakage monitoring. It is suitable for use with compatible Carlo Gavazzi earth leakage monitoring relays including DEA71 and DEB71 series devices.
Core balance transformers such as the Carlo Gavazzi CTG160 provide an effective method of detecting residual current caused by insulation faults or unwanted leakage paths. By measuring the difference between currents passing through the transformer core, the device allows connected monitoring relays to identify abnormal electrical conditions.
The CTG series is designed to improve electrical safety in industrial installations by supporting reliable earth leakage monitoring for motors, machinery, power distribution equipment and automation systems.
