Eaton CT-SP-3163-2000-5 Current Sensor - UL Recognized CSA Certified
Part Number: CT-SP-3163-2000-5
Quick Summary
CT-SP-3163-2000-5 current sensor delivers precise 5A monitoring for high-current lines in electrical panels and metering networks. Engineers often struggle with installation downtime when removing conductors; this split-core design clamps around live cables without disconnecting them. UL Recognized and CSA Certified, it meets essential safety and regulatory standards for industrial energy projects. With a 2000A primary rating and 5A secondary output, it supports robust metering, protection schemes, and data acquisition. Engineers also value the split-core window size—3.15 x 6.30 inches—and a proven 0.6% accuracy, which supports compliant energy data. In practice, it reduces downtime, improves measurement reliability, and streamlines commissioning for energy meters and motor controls.
