Lovato DM6T5000 solid-core current transformer with a 5000/5 A ratio, 127×225 mm busbar opening and class 0.5 or class 1 metering performance for high-current industrial electrical monitoring.
£1,284.65
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.
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.
