2420740000

Overview

The Weidmüller 2420740000 is a split-core current transformer designed for precise measurement of load current consumption using RMS value methods. It features a primary current rating of 500 A and a secondary current rating of 5 A. The device supports a maximum load of 5 VA and maintains a tolerance class of 1. Operating temperatures range from -5 °C to +50 °C, with free-hanging mounting style.

Feature Summary

• Split-core design enabling installation without disconnecting the primary conductor
• Asymmetrical cable feed-through configuration for flexible wiring applications
• RMS value measurement capability for accurate current consumption monitoring

Applications

• Industrial current monitoring systems
• Energy management and power distribution panels
• Load measurement in electrical infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order number matches 2420740000 to ensure correct primary and secondary ratings. Confirm environmental specifications align with operational temperature requirements. Check datasheet for mechanical dimensions and terminal connection details prior to integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-intrusive current measurement is required for high-current circuits up to 500 A. Ensure the secondary circuit burden does not exceed 5 VA to maintain accuracy within tolerance class 1. Verify compatibility with existing metering or control equipment input ranges.

Part Context

This part belongs to Weidmüller's industrial transformer series, specifically engineered for current measurement applications. It complements other components in control cabinet setups by providing isolated secondary signals proportional to primary line currents for downstream processing.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching primary/secondary ratios, burden capacity, and physical mounting constraints.
