Why Choose the Lovato DM2TA0600 Split-Core Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM2TA0600 is a high-performance split-core current transformer engineered for accurate current measurement in industrial switchboards, electrical distribution systems and energy-monitoring applications. With a 600/5 A transformation ratio, it converts primary currents up to 600 A into a standard 5 A secondary output suitable for energy meters, multifunction power analysers, ammeters and protection devices.
Its practical split-core design allows installation around existing cables or busbars without disconnecting the primary circuit, making it an excellent choice for retrofit metering projects and energy-management upgrades. This significantly reduces installation time and system downtime compared with conventional solid-core current transformers.
Designed for continuous operation at 50/60 Hz, the DM2TA0600 features a large 80 × 80 mm aperture, 2.5 VA burden at class 0.5, 5 VA burden at class 1 and a durable screw-fixed housing, making it suitable for demanding industrial power-monitoring applications.
