MR/C-01B

Current Sense Transformers Overview

The KEMET MR/C-01B is a zero-phase current transformer from the MR series, designed for board-mounted applications. It features a compact molded housing with a 6 mm aperture and supports a primary current rating of 15 A at 60 Hz. The device provides high sensitivity with a specified resistance of 300 Ohms. Constructed as a through-hole component, it serves as an intrusive current sensing solution suitable for power monitoring circuits requiring precise AC current measurement.

Current Sense Transformers Feature Summary

• High sensitivity design for accurate current detection
• Compact molded housing for space-constrained installations
• Intrusive current sensing capability via central aperture

Current Sense Transformers Applications

• Board-mounted current sensing in power supplies
• AC current monitoring at 60 Hz frequencies
• Protective relay circuits requiring current feedback

Current Sense Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a 15 A rated current transformer with a 6 mm aperture. Confirm that the 300 Ohm resistance value aligns with the downstream signal conditioning circuit requirements. Ensure the through-hole mounting method is compatible with the target PCB layout and soldering process specifications.

Current Sense Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated zero-phase current transformer is needed rather than a shunt resistor or Hall effect sensor. The choice depends on the requirement for galvanic isolation and the specific 60 Hz operating frequency. Consider the physical constraints imposed by the molded package dimensions and the mandatory through-hole installation method during the design phase.

Current Sense Transformers Part Context

This part belongs to the KEMET MR series of zero-phase current transformers. These components are engineered for applications where measuring alternating current without breaking the conductor is necessary. The series offers various aperture sizes and current ratings to accommodate different power levels while maintaining electrical isolation between the primary conductor and the secondary output.

Current Sense Transformers Replacement Considerations

Consult KEMET directly if alternative current transformer models are required. Verify compatibility regarding aperture size, current rating, and mounting style before substituting any other component.
