Schneider Electric METSECT5DA060 is a PowerLogic current transformer designed for reliable current measurement on busbar installations. It provides a 600/5 A ratio with a 5 A secondary, suitable for connection to metering and monitoring equipment where consistent accuracy is required. The transformer is tropicalised for enhanced resistance in demanding panel environments and features a double output configuration for flexible wiring arrangements.
Built for use on busbars up to a 65 x 32 mm opening, the unit mounts securely using an insulated locking screw and includes sealing provision. It supports operational voltages up to 720 V AC (50/60 Hz) and offers IP20 protection. Accuracy performance is rated Class 0.5 at 8 VA and Class 1 at 12 VA, with 3 kV insulation and 3 kV impulse withstand capability. The METSECT5DA060 complies with IEC 61869-2 and VDE 0414 and is specified for operation from -25 to +60 °C with up to 95% relative humidity.

| Part Description | Schneider Electric PowerLogic tropicalised current transformer for busbar mounting, providing a 600 A to 5 A conversion with double secondary output for metering circuits, rated for installations up to 720 V AC with IP20 protection and screw-secured insulated mounting. |
What does this current transformer do in a power monitoring system?
It converts a high primary current flowing through a busbar into a standard 5 A secondary current that can be measured by meters, protection relays, or power monitoring equipment.
What is the current ratio and rated primary current?
The ratio is 600/5, meaning 600 A on the primary corresponds to 5 A on the secondary at rated conditions.
What secondary current does it provide?
It provides a 5 A secondary output for connection to compatible measuring or protection devices.
What accuracy classes and burdens are supported?
It is rated Class 0.5 at 8 VA and Class 1 at 12 VA, allowing you to select the class/burden combination that matches the connected load and required measurement performance.
What busbar size will fit through the window?
It is designed for busbars up to 65 x 32 mm (opening of bars 65 x 32).
What are the overall dimensions for panel layout planning?
Outside width is 90 mm and outside height is 94 mm. Depth is 40 mm (frame) and 87 mm (total).
How is it mounted onto the busbar?
It uses an insulated locking screw mounting method and is intended for direct mounting on a busbar.
What is the maximum operational voltage it is intended to be used with?
The rated operational voltage is below 720 V AC at 50/60 Hz.
What insulation ratings are provided?
Rated insulation voltage (Ui) is 3 kV and rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) is 3 kV. Electrical insulation class is Class B.
What is the enclosure protection rating?
It has an IP20 degree of protection, intended for installation inside suitable electrical enclosures.
What short-circuit withstand ratings are specified?
Conventional free-air thermal current (Ith) is 36 kA, and the dynamic withstand current is 2.5 x Ith.
What environmental conditions is it designed to operate in?
Operating ambient temperature is -25 to +60 °C, with permissible relative humidity from 0 to 95%.
Is the unit supplied with any sealing provision?
Yes, sealing is provided. This can help with tamper indication requirements in metering installations, depending on the overall panel design.
What standards does it conform to?
It is specified against IEC 61869-2 and VDE 0414.
What does 'tropicalised' mean in this context?
It indicates the current transformer is designed for reliable performance in harsher environmental conditions such as high humidity, within the stated operating limits (this model is described as tropicalised for busbar use).
What is the maximum safety factor and what does it indicate?
The maximum safety factor is 5. It indicates the CT’s behaviour under high current conditions relative to instrument protection, as defined by the product’s specification (for reference, this model is Schneider METSECT5DA060).
- Converting high busbar currents into a standard 5 A secondary signal for panel instruments and energy meters
- Sub-metering and tenant billing applications in commercial buildings where 600 A feeders need monitoring
- Load profiling and demand monitoring on distribution boards to support energy reduction initiatives
- Feeder and incomer current measurement within switchboards and switchgear using 32 × 65 mm busbars
- Power monitoring for large HVAC plant, chillers, and pump systems to track operational consumption
- Current sensing for generator and mains incomer metering to compare sources and operating modes
- Monitoring high-current motor control centres to identify heavily loaded circuits and imbalances
- Input current measurement for power quality and power monitoring equipment that requires a 600/5 CT ratio
- Multi-circuit measurement setups using the double secondary output to feed separate metering functions
- Industrial and infrastructure electrical distribution monitoring where a tropicalised CT is preferred for harsher environments
