Reliable AC Current Measurement for Industrial Electrical Systems

Current transformers such as the ABB CM-CT 400/5 are essential components in electrical measurement and monitoring systems. They enable high alternating currents to be measured using standard instruments by converting the primary current into a lower, proportional secondary current. This allows compatible ammeters, measuring relays and monitoring equipment to measure electrical loads without carrying the full primary circuit current.

The CM-CT 400/5 operates with a 400/5 A transformation ratio, meaning that a primary current of 400 A corresponds to a secondary current of 5 A under rated conditions. At a primary current of 200 A, the corresponding secondary current is approximately 2.5 A. This proportional relationship allows monitoring equipment to determine the primary circuit current using the transformer's rated ratio.

The transformer's Class 1 accuracy and 5 VA rated burden make it suitable for industrial measurement applications where dependable current information is required. Its electrical isolation helps protect connected measuring equipment from direct exposure to the primary current path, while the compact construction enables installation in control cabinets, distribution boards and industrial electrical panels.

The CM-CT 400/5 is supplied with a foot angle, insulating protective cap and bar fastening screws for mechanical installation. An optional ABB CM-CT A snap-on mounting accessory enables DIN rail installation where required. For safe operation, the secondary circuit must be connected to a suitable burden or safely short-circuited before the primary circuit is energised; the secondary terminals must never be left open-circuit while primary current is flowing.
