SCT036TS-120-5

Current Sense Transformers Overview

The SCT036TS-120-5 is a current sense transformer manufactured by PowerUC Electronics, designed for precise current monitoring in electronic circuits. It features a primary-to-secondary turns ratio of 1:24 and supports a maximum primary current of 150 A. The device operates within a frequency range of 50 Hz to 1 kHz, making it suitable for standard power line frequencies and moderate switching applications. It utilizes a free-hanging in-line mounting style, allowing the primary conductor to pass directly through the center aperture without additional mechanical fixtures. The unit measures approximately 66.00 mm in length and 48.50 mm in width.

Current Sense Transformers Feature Summary

• Provides accurate current sensing via a fixed 1:24 transformation ratio
• Supports high primary current capacity up to 150 A
• Operates effectively across a frequency spectrum from 50 Hz to 1 kHz
• Utilizes a free-hanging in-line design for direct conductor integration

Current Sense Transformers Applications

• Current monitoring in industrial power distribution systems
• Overcurrent protection circuitry in electrical equipment
• Energy metering devices requiring AC current measurement

Current Sense Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the required primary current does not exceed the 150 A rating to ensure safe operation. Confirm that the operating frequency falls within the specified 50 Hz to 1 kHz range. Ensure the physical installation allows for the free-hanging in-line configuration without mechanical stress on the transformer body. Check compatibility with the secondary load impedance to maintain signal integrity.

Current Sense Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, non-contact current sensing solution is needed for currents up to 150 A. The 1:24 ratio is appropriate for stepping down high currents to measurable levels for control or protection ICs. Consider the in-line form factor if space constraints prevent the use of shunt resistors or Hall effect sensors. Validate that the application frequency aligns with the transformer's bandwidth capabilities.

Current Sense Transformers Part Context

This part belongs to the SCT036TS series of current sense transformers from PowerUC Electronics. The series offers various current ratings and turn ratios to suit different monitoring requirements. The SCT036TS-120-5 specifically addresses applications requiring 150 A handling capability with a 1:24 reduction ratio, distinguishing it from higher or lower current variants in the same product family.

Current Sense Transformers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When replacing this component, ensure the new part matches the 1:24 ratio, 150 A primary rating, and 50 Hz–1 kHz frequency range. Verify that the physical dimensions and mounting style are compatible with the existing assembly.
