CTG160

Overview

The CTG160 is a core balance transformer from the Carlo Gavazzi CTG series, designed for industrial current sensing applications. It features a 160 mm aperture diameter to accommodate primary conductors. The unit operates within a frequency range of 50 Hz to 60 Hz and utilizes a turns ratio of 1000:1. This component serves as a critical interface for converting high primary currents into measurable secondary signals for monitoring or protection circuits.

Feature Summary

• Core balance design for accurate current measurement
• 160 mm aperture for conductor passage
• 1000:1 turns ratio for signal conversion

Applications

• Industrial current monitoring systems
• Electrical protection circuit interfaces
• Power distribution panel instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturing date code upon order confirmation. Ensure the required aperture size matches the physical dimensions of the primary busbar or cable being monitored. Confirm that the operating frequency aligns with the system's 50-60 Hz requirement. Check for any specific mounting hardware requirements not included in the standard package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 160 mm internal diameter is necessary for the primary conductor. The 1000:1 ratio determines the secondary output magnitude relative to the primary input. Ensure the application environment supports the specified frequency range. Consider mechanical constraints regarding surface mounting capabilities and available space within the enclosure.
