FAQs
The CT-SP-3163-600-5 uses a split-core design that allows installation without disconnecting the primary circuit. Simply open the transformer, place it around the conductor, close the core, and connect the 5A secondary leads to the metering or protection device. Verify alignment of the window with the conductor routing and confirm UL CSA labeling for compliance after installation. This minimizes downtime and simplifies retrofit projects.
With a 600A primary rating and a 5A secondary output, the CT-SP-3163-600-5 delivers accurate current measurement suitable for energy management and power monitoring systems. The 0.6% accuracy specification reduces metering error and improves energy accounting. Its compatibility with standard 5A meters makes it a practical choice for submetering in switchgear, panels, and motor control centers.
