Current Sense Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as this model is associated with GE Instrument Transformer Industries. Confirm that the required insulation level and frequency range match your system requirements. Ensure the solid core design accommodates the conductor size without modification. Check for any updated datasheets regarding terminal configurations or burden ratings before finalizing the order.

Current Sense Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 300:5 ratio is required for single-phase circuits up to 600 V. The 10 kV BIL rating makes it suitable for environments requiring robust insulation. Consider the 3.25-inch diameter to ensure adequate space for installation. Verify compatibility with downstream meters operating between 50 and 400 Hz.

Current Sense Transformers Part Context

This part belongs to the Model 8 series of instrument transformers. These units are typically used in conjunction with electric meters and measuring devices to step down high currents for safe monitoring. The series is known for reliable performance in indoor industrial settings.

Current Sense Transformers Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Model 8 variants such as 8RL-301 if different mounting or terminal styles are needed. Ensure any substitute maintains the 300:5 ratio and 600 V rating. Verify that the replacement also meets the 10 kV BIL requirement for safety compliance.
