855-5005/600-000

Current Sense Transformers Overview

The WAGO 855-5005/600-000 is a split-core current transformer designed for measuring alternating currents up to 600 A. It features a primary-to-secondary ratio of 600:5, delivering a standard 5 A secondary output. The device operates within the 50 Hz to 60 Hz frequency range and maintains an accuracy class of 0.5. With a rated power of 0.5 VA and an IP20 protection rating, it includes a 3-meter color-coded connection cable for convenient integration into existing electrical systems without interrupting the primary circuit.

Current Sense Transformers Feature Summary

• Split-core design allows installation without disconnecting primary conductors
• Hinged construction enables rapid mounting on existing cables
• Integrated 3-meter color-coded connection cable simplifies wiring

Current Sense Transformers Applications

• Retrofitting existing electrical distribution systems
• Current measurement where primary path continuity must be maintained
• Industrial monitoring applications requiring precise current data

Current Sense Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the required primary current does not exceed 600 A and that the system frequency matches the 50 Hz or 60 Hz specification. Confirm compatibility with downstream devices accepting a 5 A secondary input. Ensure the installation environment meets the IP20 protection requirements and that the 3-meter cable length suffices for the intended connection distance.

Current Sense Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when non-intrusive measurement of high-current AC lines is necessary. The 600 A primary rating suits heavy industrial loads. The 0.5 accuracy class provides reliable data for metering purposes. Consider alternative models in the series if different primary ratings or accuracy classes are required for specific application constraints.

Current Sense Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the WAGO 855 series of split-core current transformers. These units are engineered for easy integration into established electrical infrastructure. The series offers various primary current ratings to accommodate different load requirements while maintaining consistent secondary outputs and connection methods.

Current Sense Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 600 A split-core current transformers from WAGO with matching 5 A secondary outputs and similar physical dimensions. Verify that any replacement maintains the 0.5 accuracy class and 0.5 VA burden capacity to ensure measurement consistency.
