Why Choose the Lovato DM4T1500 Current Transformer?

The Lovato DM4T1500 is a robust solid-core current transformer designed for accurate current measurement in high-current electrical distribution, energy monitoring and industrial control systems. With a primary current rating of 1500 A and a standard 5 A secondary output, it converts high line currents into a safe and measurable signal for compatible meters, analysers and protection devices.

As part of the Lovato Electric DM current transformer range, the DM4T1500 provides dependable measurement performance for panel builders, electrical contractors and industrial automation engineers. Its solid-core construction delivers a stable magnetic circuit, helping maintain reliable readings in demanding electrical installations.

The transformer accommodates conductors up to 86 mm in diameter and can also be installed around 100 × 30 mm, 80 × 50 mm or 70 × 60 mm busbars. Accuracy outputs of 20 VA at class 0.5 and 30 VA at class 1 make it suitable for precise metering and general current monitoring applications.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable 1500/5 A current transformation ratio for high-current installations.
  • Solid-core construction provides a stable magnetic circuit and dependable measurement.
  • Large 86 mm conductor aperture supports substantial power cables.
  • Compatible with several common rectangular busbar dimensions.
  • Class 0.5 and class 1 accuracy options support metering and monitoring requirements.
  • Designed for integration with energy meters, multimeters, ammeters and protection relays.

Key Features

  • Lovato Electric DM series current transformer.
  • 1500 A rated primary current.
  • 5 A secondary output current.
  • 50/60 Hz operating frequency.
  • 20 VA burden at accuracy class 0.5.
  • 30 VA burden at accuracy class 1.
  • Suitable for cables up to 86 mm diameter.
  • Suitable for 100 × 30 mm, 80 × 50 mm and 70 × 60 mm busbars.
  • Rated primary current overload withstand of 120%.
  • Conforms to applicable IEC, EN and BS 61869 standards.

Reliable Current Measurement for Electrical Systems

Current transformers reduce high primary currents to a standard secondary current that can be safely measured by compatible electrical instruments. The Lovato DM4T1500 transforms a primary current of up to 1500 A into a proportional 5 A signal, allowing connected equipment to monitor electrical loads without carrying the full line current.

Its solid-core design is particularly suitable for new switchboard and control-panel installations where the conductor can be passed through the transformer during assembly. The combination of a large aperture, multiple busbar compatibility and selectable accuracy performance makes the DM4T1500 a practical solution for industrial energy management and electrical distribution applications.

Typical Applications

  • Low-voltage electrical distribution panels.
  • Industrial switchboards and control cabinets.
  • Energy metering and power monitoring systems.
  • Digital multimeters and network analysers.
  • Ammeters and current indication equipment.
  • Protection relays and electrical monitoring devices.
  • Manufacturing facilities and process plants.
  • Commercial building power-distribution systems.
