FAQs
Yes. The CT-SP-6-1000-5A uses a split-core design that clamps around an existing conductor, allowing retrofit installation without full disconnection. Ensure proper de-energization per site safety procedures and follow manufacturer torque guidelines for mounting and wiring. The device supports standard panel metering configurations with a two-wire secondary.
Primary rating is 1000 A with a 5 A secondary output. Accuracy is 0.50%, burden is 5.25 VA, and the input voltage rating is 600 V. Window size is 5.50" x 2.00". This combination supports accurate energy measurement and reliable feeding of metering or protection equipment in typical low-voltage distribution setups.
Absolutely. Its 5 A secondary output aligns with common metering inputs, while 0.5% accuracy and RoHS compliance enhance measurement fidelity and regulatory compliance. The device's rugged 600 V rating and wide operating temperature range make it compatible with industrial energy management, submetering, and monitoring implementations.
The CT-SP-6-1000-5A carries ANSI/IEEE Std C12.20 certification for metering accuracy and reliability, and RoHS compliance for environmental standards. These credentials support regulatory compliance in North American utility and industrial environments and help simplify supplier qualification processes.
Maintenance requirements are minimal due to the split-core design and solid insulation; no ongoing recalibration is typically needed. The quick installation reduces commissioning time, lowers labor costs, and improves data quality for energy analytics, contributing to faster payback through improved energy reporting and auxiliary system efficiency.
