SCT-2000-800

Current Sensors Overview

The Magnelab SCT-2000-800 is a split-core current transformer designed for AC current sensing applications. It features a rated primary current of 800 A and a secondary output of 5 A, providing a standard transformation ratio suitable for integration with monitoring equipment. The device utilizes a split-core design, allowing installation around existing conductors without disconnecting the circuit. This model supports AC current ranges from 100 to 1500 Amps passing through the center conductor, facilitating accurate measurement in electrical distribution systems.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Split-core construction enables non-intrusive installation on live busbars or cables
• Designed for accurate AC current sensing within specified high-amperage ranges
• Standardized secondary output compatible with common power monitoring instruments

Current Sensors Applications

• Integration with eGauge energy monitoring systems
• Electrical distribution panel metering
• Power quality analysis setups

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires an 800 A primary rating and 5 A secondary output. Confirm compatibility with the connected meter's input specifications. Ensure the conductor diameter fits within the sensor's aperture. Check for any required mounting hardware or accessories listed in the official datasheet to ensure proper installation and secure connection during operation.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when the monitored circuit carries up to 800 A AC current. The split-core format is preferred where circuit interruption is not feasible. Compare against other SCT-2000 series variants like the SCT-2000-600 or SCT-2000-1000 if the load current exceeds or falls below the 800 A threshold. Ensure the physical size accommodates the cable thickness in the installation environment.

Current Sensors Part Context

This component belongs to the Magnelab SCT-2000 series of split-core current transformers. The series includes various ratings such as the SCT-2000-600 and SCT-2000-1000, offering different primary current capacities while maintaining similar form factors and installation methods. These sensors are commonly used in conjunction with digital energy monitors to provide precise current data for consumption tracking.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Magnelab SCT-2000 series models with identical 800 A/5 A ratings if available. Cross-brand replacements require matching the primary current, secondary output, burden characteristics, and physical aperture size to ensure functional equivalence in the monitoring circuit.
