FAQs
The CT-SP-3163-1200-5 uses a split-core design that eliminates the need to disconnect conductors. It fits standard busbars and neck-ins within many electrical panels, enabling fast, tool-free installation in crowded enclosures. Ensure the conductor passes through the 3.15 x 6.30 inch window and verify clearance for wiring to the 5A secondary output. For retrofit projects, plan cable routing to minimize bending and provide shielded routing for EMI resilience.
Key specs include an amperage rating of 1200A with a 5A secondary output, split-core construction, and a rated accuracy of 0.6% ACCY. The window size is 3.15 x 6.30 inches, and the device weighs about 1.5 lb. The unit is CSA Certified and UL Recognized, making it suitable for industrial and commercial power metering applications.
Yes. The 1200A primary / 5A secondary output aligns with common metering equipment and PLC inputs, enabling direct integration into energy dashboards and EMS. Its accuracy and compact form factor support reliable load profiling, demand management, and consumption dispute reduction, all critical for cost control and compliance in manufacturing facilities.
The CT-SP-3163-1200-5 is CSA Certified and UL Recognized. These certifications indicate compliance with safety and performance standards for electrical components, facilitating procurement in regulated environments, simplifying audits, and enhancing supplier confidence for electrical distribution projects.
The split-core design minimizes downtime during installation and servicing, reducing commissioning costs. Long-term ROI is driven by accurate energy data, fewer measurement errors, and compatibility with existing meters and EMS.
