CT-50/5

Overview

The CT-50/5 is a current sense transformer from the CT series by ATC Diversified Electronics. It features a 50:5 turns ratio and a secondary current rating of 5 A. The unit has a power rating of 1.5 VA and supports operation at 25 to 400 Hz with 600 V insulation. Designed for free hanging mounting, it serves as an inline current monitoring component.

Feature Summary

• Provides electrical isolation via a 50:5 turns ratio
• Supports frequency range from 25 to 400 Hz
• Rated for 600 V insulation

Applications

• Industrial current monitoring
• Power system protection circuits
• Current sensing in AC applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the CT-50/5 to confirm mechanical dimensions and terminal configurations. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 600 V insulation rating. Check compatibility with the 25-400 Hz operational range before integration into the circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 50:5 transformation ratio is required for current monitoring. The 1.5 VA power rating must match the burden resistor requirements. Consider the free-hanging mounting style for installation flexibility in panel or rack environments.

Part Context

This component belongs to the CT series of current transformers manufactured by ATC Diversified Electronics. It is designed for industrial applications requiring reliable current sensing. The part number indicates a primary-to-secondary current ratio of 50 to 5 amperes.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other models from the same series such as CT-200/5, CT-100/5, CT-2500/5, CT-500/5, and CT-25/5, provided the specific turns ratio matches the circuit requirements.
