Eaton CT-SP-6-800-5A Current Sensor - 0.6% Accuracy
Part Number: CT-SP-6-800-5A
Quick Summary
Eaton CT-SP-6-800-5A current sensor provides precise 5 A output for panel metering and energy monitoring. Engineers often struggle with accuracy, bulky form factors, and regulatory compliance when retrofitting metering in existing panels. Certified to ANSI/IEEE Std C12.20 and RoHS compliant, it helps ensure reliability and environmental compliance across installations. The device is rated for 600 V input, operates from -10° to 60°C, and uses a compact split-core window that simplifies retrofits. Its small footprint and robust accuracy support scalable energy reporting and cost-effective upgrades across industrial facilities. This combination lends itself to faster commissioning and ongoing data accuracy for energy management systems.

FAQs
Install by opening the split-core window and routing the conductor through the 5.50" x 2.00" opening without disconnecting power. Ensure the conductor is fully seated for accurate sensing, then connect the 5 A secondary leads to the metering input. Verify that the rated 600 V input is within the circuit and perform a functional check with instrument transformers or meters.
Key specs include a split-core design, 800 A primary rating, 5 A secondary output, 0.60% accuracy, 600 V input, and a burden of 4.00 VA. The device operates from -10°C to 60°C and is RoHS compliant, with ANSI/IEEE Std C12.20 certification, making it suitable for precise, regulatory-compliant energy metering in industrial applications.
Yes, it is designed for 600 V class systems and provides a robust metering signal through its 5 A secondary. The RoHS compliance and ANSI/IEEE C12.20 certification support regulatory approval, while the compact window and split-core design facilitate retrofits in existing high-voltage panels without extensive disassembly.
The CT-SP-6-800-5A carries ANSI/IEEE Std C12.20 certification and RoHS compliance, reflecting suitability for regulated electrical installations and environmentally conscious manufacturing environments.
