Split-Core current transformer
Due to their compact design and easy installation, split-core current transformers are particularly suited to applications involving places hard to access and limited in space. The separable cores also facilitate the installation on cables or bus bars.
Wherever an interruption of the current path is problematic or a measuring device has to be retrofitted in an uncomplicated manner, split-core current transformers are the correct choice. They transform primary rated currents into galvanically isolated secondary currents of 5 A or 1 A that can be used by the measuring system. The secondary side (usually a measuring device, display or control) is connected by terminals. The design ensures the safe assembly of the primary cable or bus bar in the current transformer which is confirmed by a clearly audible «clicking sound». An additional locking mechanism prevents accidental opening of the separable cores.
