Why Choose the Lovato DM1TA0250 Split-Core Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM1TA0250 is a high-accuracy split-core current transformer designed for electrical metering, energy monitoring and load measurement applications. Featuring a 250/5 A transformation ratio, it converts a primary current of 250 A into a standard 5 A secondary signal for compatible multifunction meters, power analysers and monitoring equipment.
Its split-core construction allows the transformer to be installed around an existing cable or busbar without disconnecting the primary conductor. This makes the DM1TA0250 particularly suitable for retrofit energy-monitoring projects, system upgrades and installations where interrupting the electrical supply would be difficult or costly.
With a generous 52 × 80 mm internal opening, Class 0.5 accuracy at 1 VA and Class 1 accuracy at 2 VA, the DM1TA0250 provides dependable measurement performance for industrial switchboards and power distribution systems. Its insulated housing and secure screw-terminal connections support safe, professional installation in demanding electrical environments.

Convenient Retrofit Current Measurement
Unlike a solid-core transformer, the Lovato DM1TA0250 can be opened and fitted around an existing conductor. This allows electrical measurement equipment to be added to operational switchboards without removing cable terminations or feeding the conductor through a closed transformer aperture.
The standard 5 A secondary output supports a broad range of industrial meters and power analysers. Its dual accuracy ratings provide flexibility for both precision energy measurement and general electrical monitoring applications.
Typical Applications
- Retrofit energy-monitoring systems.
- Industrial power distribution panels.
- Low-voltage switchboards.
- Multifunction electrical meters.
- Energy management systems.
- Power quality analysers.
- Motor control centres.
- Commercial and industrial building services.
