Lovato DM2T0400 solid-core current transformer with a 400/5 A transformation ratio, 23 mm cable opening, 2 VA class 0.5 burden and 3 VA class 1 burden for electrical current measurement.
£20.45
The Lovato DM2T0400 is a dependable solid-core current transformer designed for accurate current measurement in industrial switchboards, commercial distribution panels and energy-monitoring systems. Featuring a 400/5 A transformation ratio, it converts a primary current of up to 400 A into a standard 5 A secondary output for connection to compatible ammeters, energy meters, multifunction measuring instruments and protection relays.
Its solid-core construction provides a robust measurement solution for new electrical installations where the primary conductor can be routed through the transformer during panel assembly. The DM2T0400 accommodates round cables up to 23 mm in diameter and supports several commonly used rectangular busbar sizes, providing installation flexibility within low-voltage switchgear and industrial control panels.
Operating at 50/60 Hz, the transformer provides a rated burden of 2 VA at accuracy class 0.5 and 3 VA at accuracy class 1. Its compact housing, screw-terminal secondary connection and snap-mounting capability make it straightforward to integrate into modern electrical panels while delivering reliable current measurement.
Current transformers provide a safe method of measuring high electrical currents by converting the primary current into a proportional lower-current signal for compatible instrumentation. The Lovato DM2T0400 converts a primary current of up to 400 A into a standard 5 A secondary output, enabling accurate electrical monitoring without connecting measuring equipment directly to the high-current circuit.
The solid-core format is particularly suitable for new switchboard and control-panel assemblies. During installation, the cable or busbar is passed through the transformer opening before the primary circuit is connected. This creates a secure arrangement for continuous energy measurement, load monitoring and power-system analysis.

The DM2T0400 is used to measure electrical currents in switchboards, distribution panels and energy-monitoring systems. It converts a primary current of up to 400 A into a standard 5 A secondary output.
The current transformer has a 400/5 A transformation ratio, meaning that a nominal 400 A primary current corresponds to a 5 A secondary current.
The transformer accommodates a round cable with a maximum diameter of approximately 23 mm.
The transformer is suitable for rectangular busbars measuring 30 × 10 mm, 25 × 12.5 mm or 20 × 15 mm.
No. The DM2T0400 has a solid-core construction, so the conductor must be disconnected or passed through the transformer during panel assembly. A split-core transformer is more suitable when an existing conductor cannot be disconnected.
Lovato Electric current transformers are used by panel builders, electrical contractors and industrial engineers to provide accurate current measurement, straightforward integration and dependable performance in modern electrical distribution systems.
