SCT036TS-400-5

Current Sense Transformers Overview

The PowerUC Electronics SCT036TS-400-5 is a non-invasive split core current sense transformer designed for free hanging in-line mounting. It features a primary current rating of 400 A and a secondary output of 5 A, resulting in an 80:1 current ratio. The device operates within a frequency range of 50 Hz to 1 kHz. Its physical dimensions are 2.598 inches in length by 1.909 inches in width (66.00 mm x 48.50 mm). The component is currently active and utilizes a split core design to facilitate installation around existing conductors without circuit interruption.

Current Sense Transformers Feature Summary

• Non-invasive split core construction allows measurement on existing electrical installations without breaking the circuit.
• Free hanging in-line mounting type provides flexible integration into various industrial setups.
• Operates across a wide frequency range from 50 Hz to 1 kHz for versatile signal sensing applications.

Current Sense Transformers Applications

• Integration with electrical meters for accurate current monitoring
• Connection to network analyzers for power quality assessment

Current Sense Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct secondary output specifications. Confirm that the 400 A primary rating aligns with the target application's maximum load requirements. Check for any environmental ratings or insulation class details required for the intended installation environment. Ensure compatibility with downstream instrumentation input impedance.

Current Sense Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when a split core solution is required for currents up to 400 A. The 5 A secondary output must match the input requirements of the connected measuring device. Consider the 36 mm aperture size to ensure it accommodates the conductor diameter. Verify that the operating frequency range covers the system's fundamental and harmonic frequencies.

Current Sense Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the SCT036TS series of current transformers manufactured by PowerUC Electronics. The series offers various primary current ratings including 100 A, 150 A, 300 A, and 600 A options. All models share the same split core design and general form factor, differing primarily in their rated primary current and corresponding turns ratio.

Current Sense Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the SCT036TS family such as SCT036TS-D-400-5 if voltage output is preferred over current output. Cross-manufacturer replacements require matching the 400 A rating, 80:1 ratio, and 36 mm aperture size. Verify mechanical dimensions and mounting style compatibility before substitution.
