Why Choose the Lovato DM25T400 Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM25T400 is a compact solid-core current transformer designed to convert a primary current of 400 A into a standard 5 A secondary current for connection to compatible meters, power analysers and protection equipment. It is suitable for use with both insulated conductors and busbars in industrial and commercial electrical installations.
The transformer accommodates cables up to Ø24 mm and busbars measuring 11 × 24 mm, 20 × 15 mm or 33 × 11 mm, providing flexibility for a range of panel layouts. Its measurement performance supports Class 0.5 at 10 VA and Class 1 at 12 VA, making it suitable for accurate current monitoring and energy-management applications.
With 720 V rated insulation voltage, 50/60 Hz operation and a robust IP20 construction, the DM25T400 is engineered for dependable service in electrical panels. It can be mounted on a DIN rail or secured by screws, allowing straightforward integration into new or existing switchgear assemblies.

Accurate Current Measurement for Energy Monitoring Systems
Current transformers such as the Lovato DM25T400 provide electrical meters and analysers with a proportional low-current signal derived from a much higher primary current. By converting up to 400 A on the primary conductor to a standard 5 A secondary signal, the transformer allows compatible monitoring equipment to measure current safely and accurately without carrying the full load current through the instrument itself.
The DM25T400 is particularly suited to switchboards and distribution systems where compact conductor and busbar arrangements are used. Its solid-core design, multiple mounting options and defined accuracy classes make it suitable for energy monitoring, electrical measurement and power-management applications in commercial and industrial installations.
Typical Applications
- Energy meters and multifunction power analysers.
- Industrial switchboards and distribution panels.
- Electrical load monitoring systems.
- Power and energy management installations.
- Commercial building electrical distribution.
- OEM control panels and machinery.
