SEL-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 M6 silicon steel formed into a hexagonal or rectangular shape. This allows the core to be flexible enough to install over cable. SEL-CTs can be installed over bushings or over cables and are held in place with cable ties.
The SEL-CT is encapsulated in a flexible vinyl plastic with 600 V insulation level. The secondary terminals and hardware are nickel-plated brass. A single stainless-steel bolt secures the nickel mating surface of the split-core.
In-Service Installation—Use SEL-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 SEL-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".
