SCT-0750-005

Current Sensors Overview

The Magnelab SCT-0750-005 is a split-core AC current transformer designed for measuring alternating current. It features a 5 A sensing range and provides an output of 0.333 VAC. The device has a 0.75-inch (19 mm) center opening to accommodate conductors. It is a single-channel, unidirectional module with wire leads and chassis mount capability. Classified as Class 1 accuracy, it is intended for installation on existing electrical circuits without breaking the conductor.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Split-core design allows installation on existing wiring without circuit interruption
• Unidirectional measurement capability for AC current monitoring
• Wire-leaded connection for direct integration into control systems

Current Sensors Applications

• Energy metering in existing electrical panels
• Power quality monitoring systems
• Industrial equipment current surveillance

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify that the required current rating does not exceed 5 A and that the conductor diameter fits within the 0.75-inch aperture. Confirm the application requires AC measurement only, as this unit is unidirectional. Ensure the 0.333 VAC output signal is compatible with the receiving instrumentation input impedance. Check for Class 1 accuracy requirements if precise billing or regulatory compliance is necessary.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when non-intrusive installation on fixed busbars or cables is required. It is suitable for low-voltage AC applications where the primary current remains below 5 A. Consider the wire-lead termination style for ease of connection to data acquisition hardware. This component is appropriate for retrofitting monitoring capabilities into established electrical infrastructure.

Current Sensors Part Context

This part belongs to the Magnelab SCT series of split-core current transformers. The series offers various aperture sizes and current ratings to suit different conductor dimensions and load requirements. The SCT-0750-005 specifically addresses the need for compact, easy-to-install sensors in standard electrical enclosures.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 5 A rating, 0.75-inch aperture, and 0.333 VAC output. Verify polarity markings for unidirectional operation. Ensure the replacement maintains Class 1 accuracy and similar physical mounting constraints.
