SCCT 120/80 1600/5A VA 10 CL 0.5 -CE

Current Sense Transformers Overview

The Selec SCCT 120/80 1600/5A VA 10 CL 0.5 -CE is a split-core current transformer designed for electrical energy monitoring and measurement applications. It features a primary rating of 1600 Amperes and a secondary output of 5 Amperes, ensuring compatibility with standard panel meters and data acquisition systems. The device operates at a frequency of 50/60 Hz and provides an accuracy class of 0.5, suitable for precise billing and load monitoring. Rated burden capacity is 10 VA, supporting multiple connected instruments without significant signal degradation.

Current Sense Transformers Feature Summary

• Split-core design enables installation on existing busbars or cables without disconnecting the power circuit.
• High-precision magnetic core construction ensures stable signal transmission under varying load conditions.
• Compliant with CE marking standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility in European markets.

Current Sense Transformers Applications

• Integration with digital energy meters for commercial building power distribution monitoring
• Industrial automation systems requiring accurate phase current feedback for process control
• Substation metering panels for revenue-grade electricity consumption tracking

Current Sense Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the physical window size of the split core matches the diameter of the conductor being monitored. Confirm that the connected burden does not exceed the 10 VA rating to maintain the specified 0.5 accuracy class. Ensure the operating environment temperature range aligns with the component's thermal specifications to prevent performance drift during continuous operation.

Current Sense Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when high-current measurement up to 1600A is required without interrupting the main power feed. The 5A secondary output is preferred for long-distance wiring runs where voltage drop might affect 1A outputs. Consider the 0.5 accuracy class for applications demanding higher precision than standard utility metering, such as detailed energy auditing or sensitive industrial process control loops.

Current Sense Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Selec Controls split-core transformer series, engineered for retrofitting into existing electrical infrastructure. It complements the brand's lineup of panel meters and transducers by providing isolated, proportional current signals. The product line emphasizes ease of installation and reliability in harsh industrial environments, serving as a critical interface between high-voltage networks and low-voltage control electronics.

Current Sense Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include models from manufacturers offering similar 1600:5A ratios with split-core architectures. Verify that replacement units maintain the same 10 VA burden capacity and 0.5 accuracy class. Ensure mechanical dimensions of the split core aperture match the original conductor size to guarantee secure closure and consistent magnetic coupling.
