SCT036TS-250-5

Current Sense Transformers Overview

The SCT036TS-250-5 is a split-core current transformer manufactured by PowerUC Electronics, designed for precise current sensing applications. It features a nominal primary current rating of 250A and a secondary output of 5A, establishing a transformation ratio of 1:50. The device operates within a frequency range of 50Hz to 1kHz and maintains an accuracy class of 1%. With a maximum primary current capacity of 300A, it supports free-hanging in-line installation. The component is RoHS compliant and classified with Moisture Sensitivity Level 2, ensuring reliability under standard storage conditions.

Current Sense Transformers Feature Summary

• Split-core design facilitates easy installation on existing busbars or cables without disconnection
• Provides accurate current sensing with 1% accuracy class for reliable measurement
• Operates effectively across the 50Hz to 1kHz frequency spectrum
• Supports high primary current loads up to 300A with a 250A nominal rating

Current Sense Transformers Applications

• Industrial machinery current monitoring
• Power distribution system metering
• Energy management and load balancing systems

Current Sense Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the SCT036TS-250-5 designation to ensure the correct 250A/5A ratio and 1% accuracy class. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the project. Check Moisture Sensitivity Level 2 requirements for proper handling and storage prior to assembly. Ensure the physical dimensions accommodate the target conductor size for the split-core mechanism.

Current Sense Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-invasive current measurement solution is required for AC signals between 50Hz and 1kHz. The 1:50 ratio suits interfaces expecting a 5A secondary signal. Consider the 300A peak rating for safety margins above the 250A nominal value. The split-core form factor is essential where cable cutting is impractical. Verify compatibility with downstream instrumentation input ranges.

Current Sense Transformers Part Context

This part belongs to the SCT036TS series of current transformers from PowerUC Electronics. The series includes variants with different primary ratings such as 100A, 200A, 300A, 400A, and 500A. These devices share a common split-core architecture and are intended for industrial current sensing. The suffix typically denotes specific electrical characteristics like the primary current and secondary output configuration.

Current Sense Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SCT036TS variants with matching 250A/5A specifications. Cross-reference models from manufacturers offering split-core CTs with identical 1:50 ratios and 1% accuracy. Ensure replacement units support the same 50Hz-1kHz frequency range and 300A max current limit.
