Schneider Electric METSECT5DA060 Current Transformer 600/5A 8VA Class 0.5 FS5 for 32x65mm Busbar

The Schneider Electric METSECT5DA060 is a high-precision current transformer engineered for accurate current measurement and monitoring within electrical distribution networks. This device is specifically designed to convert high primary currents into a manageable 5A secondary signal, making it an essential component for energy meters, power quality analyzers, and protection relays in industrial and commercial environments.

Advantages

This current transformer offers exceptional reliability and precision, featuring an accuracy class of 0.5 which ensures that measured data remains highly dependable for billing and monitoring purposes. Its robust construction is optimized for integration with 32x65mm busbars, providing a secure and stable connection that minimizes installation time. The FS5 safety factor ensures that connected secondary equipment is protected against high current surges during fault conditions, enhancing the overall safety of the electrical installation.

Suitable for

• Industrial power distribution systems
• Commercial energy metering applications
• Electrical monitoring and data logging
• Current signal conversion for protection relays

This device is not suitable for applications requiring high-voltage insulation beyond its rated specifications or for use with cables that do not fit the designated 32x65mm busbar dimensions. It is also not intended for direct connection to low-impedance loads that exceed its 8VA power rating, as this would compromise measurement accuracy.

Key specifications

• Transformation ratio: 600/5A
• Accuracy class: 0.5
• Power rating: 8VA
• Safety factor: FS5
• Busbar compatibility: 32x65mm

Installation should be performed by qualified electrical personnel in accordance with local safety regulations. The transformer must be mounted securely onto the busbar, ensuring that the primary conductor passes through the aperture correctly. All secondary terminals must be wired to the measuring device using appropriate cross-section cables, and the secondary circuit must never be left open while the primary circuit is energized to prevent dangerous voltage build-up.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the primary current of your system matches the 600A rating
• Ensure the busbar dimensions are compatible with the 32x65mm aperture
• Confirm that the secondary burden of your metering equipment does not exceed 8VA
• Check that the required accuracy class meets your specific monitoring needs

Always ensure the secondary circuit is connected to a load or short-circuited before energizing the primary conductor to prevent damage to the transformer and ensure operator safety.
