PowerLogic 1000/5 current transformer, double busbar connections 32x65 METSECT5DA100

Professional measurement of high currents in switchboards

The current transformer has been specifically designed for mounting on busbars with dimensions 32×65 mm, enabling safe current measurement up to 1000A while maintaining a standard secondary signal of 5A. The device belongs to the PowerLogic series by Schneider Electric and features conformal coating.

The current transformer provides galvanic isolation between the primary and secondary circuits, protecting measuring instruments from the high voltage of the main circuit while simultaneously allowing precise measurement of high current intensities with meters of smaller measurement ranges.

Construction and technical parameters

The device is constructed as a through-type current transformer with a single primary input, without a copper busbar and snap-on mounting. The through-hole with dimensions 65×32 mm allows for mounting on standard Cu/Al busbars in electrical switchboards.

Electrical parameters include a rated secondary apparent power of 20 VA and a saturation factor FS 5, which guarantees appropriate measurement accuracy under various secondary loads. The accuracy class is 0.5 at 15 VA power and class 1 at 20 VA power, ensuring high measurement precision for demanding industrial applications.

The external dimensions of the device are 90×94×40 mm, and the internal dimensions of the mounting hole are 65×32×87 mm, enabling compact installation in standard modular switchboards.

Application and compatibility

The transformer is used in electrical switchboards where it is necessary to measure high current intensities without direct contact with the main circuit. It is particularly recommended for industrial installations and power systems requiring precise monitoring of electrical parameters.

The device is compatible with standard current meters with a range up to 5A, electricity meters, and network parameter analyzers. Double secondary outputs allow for the simultaneous connection of several measuring devices or a redundant connection.

Conformal coating ensures reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions.

Advantages and quality certificates

The solid core construction according to IEC standards guarantees the stability of measurement parameters over time and resistance to external magnetic fields. Compact dimensions allow for space savings in the switchboard while maintaining full measurement functionality.

The device meets the requirements of international standards IEC 61869-2 and VDE 0414, confirming the highest standards of safety and manufacturing quality. Factory calibration eliminates the need for additional tuning before installation.

Cooperation with the Schneider Electric ecosystem enables integration with PowerLogic energy management solutions, offering comprehensive solutions for monitoring electrical parameters.
