Current transformer DIN 600/5 METSECT5MC060

Current Transformer for Precise Measurements

This current transformer, designed by Schneider Electric, is a reliable solution for current measurement in electrical installations. Designed for use with busbars and cables, it ensures accurate transmission of current intensity data to measuring and protective devices. The METSECT5MC060 model is particularly suitable for applications requiring energy consumption monitoring, load control, and installation safety.

Characteristics and Applications

The METSECT5MC060 current transformer features a class accuracy of 1, guaranteeing high measurement precision. The rated primary current is 600 A, with a secondary current of 5 A — a standard configuration compatible with most meters and relays. The 32 mm bore diameter allows easy adaptation to various conductor and busbar sizes, making it ideal for use in electrical distribution boards, control cabinets, and energy monitoring systems in commercial and industrial buildings. Its DIN rail mounting design enables fast and safe installation.

Advantages and Design Features

• Wide range of applications: Compatible with various conductors and busbars of dimensions 10x40 mm, 20x32 mm, or 25x5 mm, enhancing its versatility.
• High accuracy: Class 1 accuracy ensures reliable current measurements essential for proper operation of monitoring and protection systems.
• Durable construction: Made from high-quality materials, the transformer is resistant to environmental conditions and ensures long-term reliability.
• Safe operation: Lack of touch protection requires caution during installation and operation, but provides easy access for servicing.
• Easy installation: Designed for mounting on standard DIN rails, simplifying installation and reducing downtime.
• Overload factor FS 5: Allows short-term overcurrent loading beyond the rated value without damaging the device — critical during short circuits or voltage surges.
• Rated secondary apparent power 15 VA: Ensures stable operation when connected to measuring devices.
• Screw terminals: Provide secure and durable electrical connections to the secondary circuit.
