Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CTG160 Core Balance Transformer?

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.
