Why Choose the Lovato DM1TMA0100 Compact Split-Core Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM1TMA0100 is a compact, prewired split-core current transformer designed for reliable current measurement in electrical distribution, energy monitoring and industrial automation systems. With a 100/5 A transformation ratio, it converts a primary current of up to 100 A into a standard 5 A secondary signal for compatible ammeters, energy meters and multifunction measuring instruments.
Its split-core construction allows the transformer to be opened and installed around an existing conductor without disconnecting or rerouting the primary cable. This makes the DM1TMA0100 particularly suitable for retrofit metering projects, switchboard upgrades and applications where reducing installation time and electrical downtime is important.
The compact housing incorporates a 24 × 24 mm internal opening and is supplied with a 2 m prewired connection cable for straightforward integration. With class 1 measurement accuracy and a rated secondary output of 1.2 VA, the transformer provides dependable performance for monitoring loads in commercial and industrial electrical systems.

Compact Current Measurement for Existing Installations
A current transformer reduces a high primary current to a proportional secondary current that can be safely measured by compatible instrumentation. The Lovato DM1TMA0100 converts a primary current of up to 100 A into a standard 5 A secondary output, enabling meters and monitoring devices to measure electrical loads without being connected directly to the high-current conductor.
The hinged split-core arrangement is especially useful when adding energy monitoring to an operational electrical system. The transformer can be opened, positioned around the existing conductor and secured in place without removing the cable. Its compact dimensions, prewired connection and snap-mounting design help simplify installation inside space-restricted switchboards and control panels.
Typical Applications
- Electrical distribution boards and switchboards.
- Energy meters and multifunction measuring instruments.
- Industrial machinery and automation panels.
- Building energy-management systems.
- Electrical load and consumption monitoring.
- Commercial power-distribution installations.
- Retrofit metering and energy-efficiency projects.
