Split-core design lets you clamp around a live conductor without disconnecting equipment, enabling fast retrofits in existing panels. This reduces on-site downtime and minimizes wiring changes, translating into lower labor costs and quicker project completion. In energy metering and protection schemes, the CT-SP-6 series excels at adding metering points to large feeders or subpanels. The sensor delivers 0.70% accuracy with a 2.75 VA burden, ensuring precise measurement for power quality analytics while keeping meter loading modest. That low burden supports accurate data collection without overstressing meters or relays, helping meet regulatory reporting requirements. This is especially valuable in data centers, manufacturing floors, and commercial buildings where data fidelity matters. With a 600 A primary rating and 5 A secondary output, it matches standard metering instruments while delivering clean, linear signals to energy meters and control systems. The 5.50 x 2.00 inch window fits common conductor sizes, simplifying installation in crowded panels, and the 2-wire secondary reduces wiring errors and commissioning time. Rated for 600 V input and an operating range of -10°C to 60°C, the CT-SP-6-600-5A performs reliably in harsh environments and with varying loads. RoHS compliance and ANSI/IEEE C12.20 certification support regulatory and sustainability goals, while the compact form factor eases enclosure and cable management. Dimensions and weight support practical mounting: 4.37 in length, 7.83 in height, 1.24 in width, and about 2.2 lb. The one-year warranty from installation (or 18 months from shipment) provides project confidence, while Eaton provides datasheets and technical support to accelerate deployments. Compatibility considerations: ensure a simple single-conductor path through the window and verify enclosure requirements if CE or IP ratings are mandated; this CT-SP-6-600-5A is designed for panel boards, meters, and power management systems that require a reliable 5A output.

FAQs
Retrofitting begins by opening the panel enclosure and clamping the split-core around a single conductor to avoid bypassing other loads. Connect the 5A secondary leads to the metering or protection device, ensuring only one conductor passes through the window. Verify status with the meter and secure the CT firmly to prevent movement during operation.
Key specs include a 600A primary rating, 5A secondary output, 0.70% accuracy, and a 2.75 VA burden. It supports 600 V input, operates from -10°C to 60°C, and features a 5.50 x 2.00 inch window with a 4.37 inch depth, 7.83 inch height, and 1.24 inch width, designed for two-wire secondary configurations.
Yes. Its 5A secondary output, 0.70% accuracy, and low burden make it ideal for accurate metering and power quality analytics in commercial spaces. ANSI/IEEE C12.20 certification and RoHS compliance further support regulatory alignment, enabling reliable data collection for energy dashboards and utility reporting.
The product carries ANSI/IEEE C12.20 certification and RoHS compliance, indicating electrical accuracy standards and restricted material usage. The operating range of -10°C to 60°C ensures reliability in varied environments. For regions requiring CE labeling or IP protection, confirm with Eaton or your distributor to match local enclosure needs.
Maintenance is minimal due to a robust split-core design and solid connection reliability. The quick retrofits reduce labor costs and commissioning time, improving project ROI. Long-term benefits include improved data integrity for energy management and reduced downtime in service-critical applications.
