Why Choose the Lovato DM35T1250 Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM35T1250 is a high-capacity solid-core current transformer designed for accurate AC current measurement in industrial electrical distribution, energy monitoring and metering systems. Part of the Lovato DM35T current transformer series, it provides a 1250/5 A transformation ratio, converting a rated primary current of 1250 A into a standard 5 A secondary current for compatible measuring instruments.
The DM35T1250 features a large Ø66 mm circular aperture for suitable cables and also accommodates 80 × 12.5 mm, 60 × 30 mm and 50 × 50 mm busbars. This makes it particularly suitable for high-current switchboards, distribution panels and industrial installations where substantial conductors need to be monitored.
Operating at 50–60 Hz, the transformer provides class 0.5 accuracy at 15 VA and class 1 accuracy at 20 VA. Its 720 V rated insulation voltage, IP30 protection, screw terminals and DIN rail or screw mounting provide a robust and practical solution for demanding electrical metering applications.

Reliable High-Current Measurement for Electrical Monitoring
Current transformers reduce large primary currents to a proportional secondary current that can be safely measured by compatible instrumentation. The Lovato DM35T1250 converts a 1250 A primary current into a standard 5 A secondary current, allowing energy meters, ammeters and power analysers to monitor substantial electrical loads without carrying the full primary current through the measuring instrument.
The large Ø66 mm aperture and compatibility with several common busbar dimensions make the DM35T1250 particularly suitable for high-current distribution systems. Its class 0.5 measurement performance, robust solid-core construction and flexible mounting options provide reliable integration into industrial switchboards, energy-management systems and electrical monitoring installations.
Typical Applications
- High-current industrial electrical distribution systems.
- Main switchboards and distribution panels.
- Commercial and industrial energy metering.
- Busbar current measurement installations.
- Industrial power and load monitoring.
- Power analysers and multifunction electrical meters.
- Building and plant energy-management systems.
