What type of current transformer is this?
The METSECT5MC050 is a tropicalised PowerLogic current transformer designed for use with busbars or cables. It provides a reduced current signal for compatible measuring equipment in AC electrical installations.
What are the rated primary and secondary currents?
The rated primary current is 500 A and the rated secondary current is 5 A. Its specified current transformation ratio is 500/5.
What accuracy classes does it offer?
The transformer is rated Class 0.5 at a burden of 10 VA and Class 1 at a burden of 12 VA. The required accuracy should be assessed against the total connected burden.
Can it be used with both busbars and cables?
Yes. It accommodates suitable busbars and cables, with a maximum cable outer diameter of 32 mm. The conductor must fit within the specified opening.
Which busbar sizes can it accommodate?
The specified nominal busbar sizes are 10 × 40 mm, 20 × 32 mm and 25 × 25 mm. The corresponding openings are 40.5 × 10.5 mm, 32.5 × 20.5 mm and 25.5 × 25.5 mm.
What mounting options are provided?
The transformer supports mounting on a busbar, mounting plate or DIN rail. The listed fixing methods include screws, an insulated locking screw and clip-on mounting.
What are its overall dimensions?
The outside dimensions are 70 mm wide and 95 mm high, with a total depth of 65 mm. The frame depth is 45 mm.
What voltage and frequency ratings apply?
The rated operational voltage is below 720 V AC at 50/60 Hz. The rated insulation voltage and rated impulse withstand voltage are both specified as 3 kV.
What operating temperature range is specified?
The specified ambient operating temperature range is −25 °C to +60 °C. The listed relative humidity range is 0–95%.
What is its IP protection rating?
The transformer has an IP20 degree of protection. This rating should be considered when selecting an enclosure and assessing the installation environment.
Which standards are listed for this transformer?
The product documentation lists VDE 0414 and IEC 61869-2. It also lists CE and EAC product certifications.
How much does the transformer weigh?
The specified net weight of the METSECT5MC050 is 0.429 kg.
What should be checked when selecting a compatible measuring device?
Check that the measuring device accepts a 5 A current-transformer input and can be configured for a 500/5 ratio. The combined burden of the device and connecting leads must also suit the required transformer accuracy rating.
What electrical insulation class is specified?
The transformer has Class B electrical insulation. This is separate from its measurement accuracy classifications of Class 0.5 and Class 1.
- Scaling AC currents up to 500 A to a 5 A secondary signal for compatible metering instruments.
- Monitoring electrical loads in industrial distribution boards and switchgear.
- Providing current measurements for compatible power and energy meters.
- Measuring individual phase currents in three-phase installations using a transformer on each phase.
- Supporting energy-use monitoring across production equipment and building electrical circuits.
- Enabling current measurement on compatible busbars or cables in control panels.
- Integrating current sensing into DIN rail or mounting-plate assemblies.
