Why Choose the Lovato DM2T0150 Solid-Core Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM2T0150 is a dependable solid-core current transformer designed for accurate current measurement in industrial switchboards, distribution panels and energy-monitoring systems. Featuring a 150/5 A transformation ratio, it converts a primary current of up to 150 A into a standard 5 A secondary output for connection to compatible ammeters, energy meters, multifunction measuring instruments and power analysers.
Its solid-core construction provides a secure and durable measurement solution for new electrical installations where the primary conductor can be passed through the transformer during panel assembly. The DM2T0150 accommodates round cables up to 23 mm in diameter and supports several rectangular busbar sizes, providing flexible installation within industrial control panels and low-voltage switchgear.
With a rated secondary apparent power of 1.5 VA and accuracy class 1, the DM2T0150 delivers reliable measurement for electrical load monitoring, energy management and power-distribution applications. Screw-terminal secondary connections and snap-mounting capability also help simplify installation and maintenance.

Dependable Current Measurement for Electrical Panels
Current transformers provide a safe method of monitoring high electrical currents by converting the primary current into a proportional lower-current output for compatible measuring instruments. The Lovato DM2T0150 converts a primary current of up to 150 A into a standard 5 A secondary signal, allowing meters and analysers to monitor electrical loads without direct connection to the high-current circuit.
The solid-core design is particularly suitable for new switchboard and control-panel assemblies. During installation, the cable or busbar is passed through the transformer opening before the primary circuit is connected. This provides a secure arrangement for continuous energy measurement, load monitoring and electrical system analysis.
Typical Applications
- Industrial switchboards and power-distribution panels.
- Energy meters and multifunction measuring instruments.
- Power analysers and electrical monitoring systems.
- Building energy-management systems.
- Industrial machinery and automation panels.
- Electrical load and demand monitoring.
- Commercial power-distribution installations.
- New panel-building and switchgear projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lovato DM2T0150 used for?
The DM2T0150 is used to measure electrical currents in switchboards, distribution panels and energy-monitoring systems. It converts a primary current of up to 150 A into a standard 5 A secondary output.
What is the transformation ratio of the DM2T0150?
The current transformer has a 150/5 A transformation ratio, meaning that a nominal 150 A primary current corresponds to a 5 A secondary current.
What cable size can pass through the DM2T0150?
The transformer can accommodate a round cable with a maximum diameter of approximately 23 mm.
Which busbar sizes are compatible with the DM2T0150?
The transformer is suitable for rectangular busbars measuring 30 × 10 mm, 25 × 12.5 mm or 20 × 15 mm.
Can the DM2T0150 be fitted around an existing connected cable?
No. The DM2T0150 has a solid-core construction, so the conductor must be disconnected or passed through the transformer during panel assembly. A split-core transformer is more suitable when an existing conductor cannot be disconnected.
