- This product is a 5A current transformer designed to function as a current sensor in AC electrical systems. - It uses a current ratio of 300/5 A, meaning up to 300 A of primary current is stepped down to a 5 A secondary signal for safe, accurate measurement. - The transformer is designed to transform electrical current for monitoring, metering, and control applications, enabling compatible instrumentation to read the current without exposing equipment to high current levels. - It operates with an AC power supply, indicating suitability for standard AC measurement setups and instrumentation connected to an AC system. - Benefits and value: - Provides a safe, standard 5 A signal for measurement devices and protective relays. - Helps monitor load, detect anomalies, and support energy management and protection schemes in AC installations. - Enables compatibility with 5 A input instruments typical in meters, data loggers, and control systems. - 2-3 practical use scenarios: - In electrical distribution panels or motor control centers to monitor branch currents and feed data to meters or protection relays. - In instrumentation or data acquisition setups that require a standard 5 A current input for monitoring high-current circuits. - In testing and development labs to simulate high current conditions: a 300 A primary current produces a 5 A secondary signal for measurement without handling large currents directly. - Key considerations: - Function: current sensing and measurement in AC circuits. - Compatibility: designed to provide a 5 A secondary output for standard instrumentation. - Performance: ratio 300/5 A enables accurate stepping down of high currents for safe measurement processes. - Power: requires an AC power supply to operate as specified.
