CT
Split-Core Current Transformers
Split-Core Current Transformers (CTs) are designed for applications where it is difficult or uneconomical to open the primary conductor to install a solid-core-type current transformer. The split-core design uses M-6 silicon steel formed into a hexagonal or rectangular shape. This allows the core to be opened to the nominal window diameter. CTs may be installed over bushings or over cables and are held in place with cable ties.
The CT is encapsulated in a flexible vinyl plastic with 600 V class insulation. The secondary terminals and hardware are nickel-plated brass.

Applications
In-Service Installation—Use CTs for electrical load surveys, industrial energy management systems, submetering for department costing, and in conjunction with demand, kilowatt-hour, or power factor meters; current or watt transducers; or current-sensing relays. The split-core design eliminates the need to open the primary cable during installation over existing bushings or cable for a lower installation cost and time compared to closed-core designs. Install CTs when secondary load is present. Flexible encapsulation provides 600 V class insulation and ensures a long product life. Four window diameters are available: 3.5", 4.5", 6.0", and 8.0".
