Why Choose the Lovato DM6T5000 5000/5 A Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM6T5000 is a heavy-duty solid-core current transformer for busbar installations, designed to convert high primary currents into a standard secondary current suitable for electrical metering and monitoring equipment. As part of the Lovato DM current transformer range, it is rated for a primary current of 5000 A with a 5 A secondary output.
The DM6T5000 features a large 127×225 mm busbar opening, making it suitable for high-current industrial distribution systems, main switchboards and large electrical feeders. Its solid-core construction provides a robust measuring solution where the busbar can be passed through the transformer during installation.
For metering applications, the transformer provides a rated burden of 100 VA at accuracy class 0.5 and 180 VA at accuracy class 1. It operates at 50–60 Hz, has a rated insulation voltage of 720 V and can be mounted using DIN rail or screw fixing, providing installation flexibility in large electrical panels.

Reliable High-Current Measurement for Industrial Systems
Current transformers allow large electrical currents to be measured safely by reducing the primary current to a proportional standard secondary value. The Lovato DM6T5000 converts a primary current of up to 5000 A into a 5 A secondary signal that can be connected to compatible digital meters, power analysers and other measuring equipment.
Its large 127×225 mm aperture and high burden capability make the DM6T5000 particularly suitable for major distribution feeders and industrial switchboards using substantial busbar systems. The choice of class 0.5 or class 1 performance, depending on connected burden, supports accurate electrical monitoring across demanding high-current installations.
Typical Applications
- High-current industrial switchboards.
- Main electrical distribution panels.
- Large busbar systems.
- Power and energy monitoring installations.
- Digital multimeter and power analyser current inputs.
- Industrial feeder and incoming supply measurement.
