LCTS 50/32SC Split-Core Current Transformer 400A/5A, Class 1

The LCTS 50/32SC is a high-precision split-core current transformer engineered for efficient current measurement in electrical systems. Featuring a 400A/5A transformation ratio and Class 1 accuracy, this device provides reliable signal conversion for secondary monitoring equipment. Its split-core design allows for installation directly onto existing cables without the need to disconnect the primary circuit, making it an essential component for modern energy management.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this current transformer is its split-core architecture, which significantly reduces installation time and labor costs by eliminating the need to shut down power or disconnect primary conductors. The device offers consistent accuracy, ensuring that energy monitoring systems receive precise data for power analysis. Its robust construction is designed to withstand industrial environments while maintaining signal integrity, providing a dependable solution for retrofitting existing electrical infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Energy monitoring and power management systems
• Industrial automation and control processes
• Retrofitting existing electrical panels
• Load monitoring in distribution boards

This transformer may not be suitable for applications requiring extremely high precision beyond Class 1 standards or for environments with extreme electromagnetic interference that could affect signal accuracy. It is also not intended for use in high-voltage transmission lines or circuits exceeding its rated current capacity.

Key specifications

• Transformation ratio: 400A/5A
• Accuracy class: 1
• Design: Split-core
• Application: Secondary current measurement

To install the LCTS 50/32SC, simply open the split-core housing, place it around the primary conductor, and securely snap the core shut. Ensure that the orientation of the transformer matches the direction of the current flow as indicated on the device. Once closed, connect the secondary terminals to your monitoring or measuring equipment using appropriate wiring, ensuring all connections are tight and secure to prevent signal loss.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the primary current does not exceed 400A
• Ensure the secondary equipment is compatible with a 5A input
• Check the physical dimensions of the cable to ensure it fits within the transformer aperture

For optimal performance, ensure that the split-core surfaces are clean and free of debris before closing the device. Regularly inspect the connections to the secondary monitoring equipment to maintain measurement accuracy over time.
