FAQs
Install with the conductors passed through the 3.15 x 6.30 inch window, then close the split core around the conductor without disconnecting existing wiring. The unit provides 1000A primary and 5A secondary output with 0.6% accuracy, and is CSA Certified UL Recognized for regulatory compliance. This design minimizes panel downtime and is suitable for retrofit projects in dense panel environments.
Key specs include a 1000A primary rating, 5A secondary output, 0.6% accuracy, window size 3.15 x 6.30 in, overall dimensions 9.72 in L x 6.93 in W x 2.76 in H, and weight 1.5 lb. Certifications are CSA Certified and UL Recognized, with a UPC of 786689884758 to support product identification and traceability.
Yes. The 5A secondary output is designed to interface with standard metering inputs and building automation systems, enabling accurate energy monitoring, load profiling, and power management across industrial and commercial facilities. Its high-current capability supports large loads, while the compact form factor eases installation in typical control rooms and panels.
The CT-SP-3163-1000-5 is CSA Certified and UL Recognized, which confirms compliance with recognized safety and performance standards. These certifications help ensure regulatory acceptance for electrical installations in regulated industries, reduce risk during audits, and support dependable operation in manufacturing, data centers, and utility environments.
Investing in a split-core sensor reduces installation time and equipment downtime since conductors can be routed through the window without disconnecting circuits. The 1000A primary/5A secondary configuration provides accurate metering for energy management programs, enabling better load forecasting and efficiency improvements, which translate into lower energy costs and improved system reliability over time.
