FAQs
The M000-162 uses a split-core design that enables you to open the window and snap it around the conductor without disconnecting power. Ensure the window accommodates a 2.00 x 5.50 in area and route the secondary output to your metering or控制 device with proper isolation. Verify clearance for the 1 in depth and 4.2 in height while securing the unit to avoid movement during vibration.
Key specs include a 1600A primary rating, 5A secondary output, and 0.60% accuracy. These figures mean the sensor accurately converts large primary currents into a precise 5A secondary signal, enabling reliable energy measurement for metering, power monitoring, and protection schemes in industrial environments.
Yes. Its 1600A primary range, 5A secondary output, and 0.60% accuracy make it well-suited for energy management systems, switchgear metering, and retrofits where accurate current measurement is critical. The split-core design simplifies retrofitting in existing installations, reducing downtime and enabling quicker integration with power monitors.
The M000-162 is CSA Certified and UL Recognized, indicating compliance with recognized safety and performance standards. This certification supports regulatory acceptance in North American electrical systems and helps ensure reliability when used in critical power management and distribution applications.
The split-core design minimizes panel downtime during installation, reducing labor costs and project duration. The device’s accuracy improves metering quality, potentially lowering energy waste calculations and improving billable energy reconciliation. A 1-year warranty adds lifecycle protection, while CSA/UL certification reduces compliance risk in ongoing maintenance and audits.
