SCT-0400-030

Current Sensors Overview

The Magnelab SCT-0400-030 is a split-core current transformer designed for electrical current monitoring applications. It features a split design that allows installation around existing busbars or cables without disconnecting the primary circuit, facilitating efficient retrofitting and maintenance. The unit provides an isolated secondary output proportional to the primary current, enabling safe connection to measurement instruments, data acquisition systems, or protective relays. This component supports accurate current sensing in industrial power distribution networks.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Split-core construction enables non-intrusive installation on live conductors
• Provides galvanic isolation between high-voltage primary circuits and low-voltage secondary measurement devices
• Delivers a standardized secondary current output proportional to the measured primary load

Current Sensors Applications

• Industrial power distribution panel metering

• Protective relay input circuits for overcurrent detection

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific accuracy class and burden rating required for your application against the manufacturer's datasheet specifications. Confirm the physical aperture dimensions match the diameter of the conductor or busbar being monitored. Ensure the rated primary current aligns with the maximum expected load to maintain measurement integrity and prevent saturation during peak operation periods.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model based on the required primary current range and the necessary accuracy class for your specific metering or protection task. Evaluate the physical size constraints to ensure the split core fits the available space around the conductor. Consider the operating temperature range and insulation voltage ratings to guarantee compatibility with the environmental conditions and system voltage levels present in the installation site.
