2728160000

Overview

The Weidmüller 2728160000 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 2000 A and a secondary current output of 5 A. The device supports a maximum burden of 15 VA and maintains a tolerance class of 1. Operating at a frequency of 50 Hz, it utilizes an asymmetrical cable feed-through design. The unit is constructed as a free-hanging in-line component, allowing for non-intrusive installation around existing conductors without circuit interruption.

Feature Summary

• Split-core construction enables installation around existing cables without disconnecting the primary circuit
• Asymmetrical cable feed-through design facilitates secure mounting on conductors
• Provides accurate RMS-based current measurement for industrial monitoring applications

Applications

• Industrial energy monitoring systems requiring non-invasive current sensing
• Electrical distribution panels for tracking high-current load consumption
• Automation technology infrastructure for real-time power data acquisition

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number 2728160000 matches the required 2000 A primary and 5 A secondary specifications. Confirm the physical dimensions of the split core align with the diameter of the conductor being monitored. Ensure the 15 VA burden capacity is sufficient for the connected measuring instrument or relay input impedance to maintain the specified tolerance class during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-invasive solution is required for measuring currents up to 2000 A. The split-core design is essential for retrofits or installations where opening the primary circuit is not feasible. Ensure the operating environment supports the standard industrial temperature range and that the 50 Hz frequency matches the system's power line characteristics. Verify compatibility with downstream devices accepting 5 A secondary inputs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Weidmüller current sense transformer series, specifically engineered for industrial signal processing and automation tasks. It serves as a critical interface between high-power electrical circuits and low-power control or measurement systems. The product line emphasizes reliable connectivity and precise data transmission within complex electrical networks.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When replacing this unit, ensure the new component matches the 2000 A primary rating, 5 A secondary output, and 15 VA burden capacity. Verify that the split-core geometry accommodates the same cable diameter to maintain mechanical integrity and measurement accuracy.
