5A Clamp Current Transformer is a clamp-on current sensor designed to sense electrical current in conductors without breaking the circuit. Key specifications and what they mean - Current ratio 300/5A: When up to 300 A flows through the primary conductor, the transformer provides a 5 A current on the secondary output. This 300/5 A ratio enables accurate sensing of current changes within the designed range. - 5A indicates the related current parameter: The secondary output is a 5 A signal used by compatible sensing and monitoring equipment. - Purpose: This clamp current transformer is used for sensing current and feed-through to measurement systems that read a 5 A secondary. Why this matters for you - Non intrusive current sensing: Clamp around an existing conductor to monitor current without disconnecting or modifying the circuit. - Accurate measurement of changes: The 300/5A ratio supports reliable detection of varying current levels in real-time. - Simple integration: Outputs a standard 5 A signal that is widely compatible with current sensing, metering, and monitoring equipment. Compatibility and use in systems - Compatible with instruments and controllers designed to read a 5 A secondary from a current transformer. - Suitable for monitoring current in electrical installations where a clamp-on sensor is preferred for ongoing diagnostics and energy management. Use scenarios - Residential energy monitoring: Clamp around service conductors in a home electrical panel to track overall load and energy usage for efficiency improvements or cost analysis. - Industrial motor and equipment monitoring: Place clamp around motor power leads or feeders to observe current draw, detect overloads, and help schedule maintenance before failures occur. - Electrical panel diagnostics and energy auditing: Use on distribution feeders to analyze load distribution, identify imbalanced loads, and support capacity planning or energy audits. Performance and reliability - Designed to provide accurate current sensing through a robust clamp-on mechanism and a clear 300/5A ratio, enabling consistent data for monitoring and control applications. - Focused on dependable current measurement to support diagnostics, energy management, and system optimization without altering existing circuits.
