5SHT-201

Current Sense Transformers Overview

The Sifam Tinsley 5SHT-201 is a window-type current transformer designed for electrical measurement applications. It operates with a turns ratio of 200:5 and features a 40 mm aperture suitable for passing conductors. The device is rated at Class 1 accuracy with a burden capacity of 5 VA. It supports frequency ranges from 50 Hz to 400 Hz. This component is explicitly noted as non-ANSI rated, distinguishing it from specific metering class standards.

Current Sense Transformers Feature Summary

• Window-type construction for easy conductor installation
• Class 1 accuracy rating for reliable measurement
• Wide frequency range support up to 400 Hz

Current Sense Transformers Applications

• Electrical panel monitoring systems
• Industrial power distribution measurement
• Current sensing in variable frequency environments

Current Sense Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific application requirements against the non-ANSI rating status before procurement. Ensure the primary conductor diameter fits within the 40 mm window aperture. Confirm that the 5 VA burden capacity aligns with the connected measuring instrument's input impedance. Check that the operating frequency range covers the system's fundamental and harmonic frequencies.

Current Sense Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when high accuracy is required for general-purpose current measurement rather than strict ANSI metering compliance. Consider the 200:5 ratio to match the expected primary current levels. Evaluate the physical space constraints regarding the 40 mm window size. Compare against ANSI-rated alternatives if phase angle error minimization is critical for billing or regulatory purposes.

Current Sense Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Sifam Tinsley current transformer lineup, which includes various ratios and accuracy classes. The 5SHT series typically denotes standard window-type transformers. Differentiation exists between ANSI-rated and non-ANSI-rated models based on specific performance criteria and industry standards compliance.

Current Sense Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 200:5 ratio, 40 mm window size, and Class 1 accuracy. Verify burden compatibility at 5 VA. Non-ANSI rated replacements are suitable only if ANSI compliance is not mandated by the end-use specification.
