Schneider METSECT5MC040 is a PowerLogic tropicalised current transformer designed for accurate current measurement in electrical distribution and monitoring applications. Rated at 400/5 A with a 5 A secondary output, it supports Class 0.5 accuracy at 8 VA and Class 1 accuracy at 10 VA, making it suitable for metering and instrumentation tasks where dependable current sensing is required.
This current transformer is built for use with busbars and cables, with mounting options including DIN rail, mounting plate, busbar installation, clip-on fitting, insulated locking screw or screw fixing. It accommodates cable diameters up to 32 mm and bar openings of 25.5 x 25.5 mm, 40.5 x 10.5 mm and 32.5 x 20.5 mm. The unit has a rated operational voltage below 720 V AC at 50/60 Hz, 3 kV rated insulation and impulse withstand voltage, and a conventional free air thermal current rating of 24 kA.
With an IP20 protection rating, Class B electrical insulation and an operating temperature range from -25 to 60 °C, the METSECT5MC040 is suited to panel-based industrial and commercial electrical systems. Its compact frame, 400 g approximate weight and compliance with IEC 61869-2 and VDE 0414 standards make it a practical choice for integration into low-voltage power monitoring assemblies.

What type of component is this?
It is a tropicalised current transformer designed for measuring high primary current and providing a 5 A secondary current for metering or monitoring equipment.
What current ratio does it provide?
The current transformer ratio is 400/5, meaning it is intended for a 400 A primary current with a 5 A secondary output.
What accuracy classes are specified?
It is rated as Class 0.5 at 8 VA and Class 1 at 10 VA, making it suitable for applications where defined metering accuracy is required.
What mounting options are available?
The unit can be mounted using an insulated locking screw, clip-on fitting or screws. It is suitable for installation on a busbar, DIN rail or mounting plate.
What conductor or busbar sizes can it accommodate?
It is designed for busbar openings of 25.5 x 25.5 mm, 40.5 x 10.5 mm and 32.5 x 20.5 mm. It can also accommodate a cable outer diameter of up to 32 mm.
What is the rated operational voltage?
The rated operational voltage is less than 720 V AC at 50/60 Hz.
What is the rated insulation voltage?
The rated insulation voltage is 3 kV, with a rated impulse withstand voltage of 3 kV.
What environmental conditions is it rated for?
It is rated for operation in ambient temperatures from -25 °C to 60 °C and relative humidity from 0% to 95%.
What ingress protection rating does it have?
The device has an IP20 degree of protection, which means it is protected against solid objects greater than 12.5 mm but is not rated for water ingress.
