Why Choose the Lovato DM4T1250 Solid-Core Current Transformer?
The Lovato DM4T1250 is a heavy-duty solid-core current transformer designed for accurate current measurement in industrial switchboards, electrical distribution systems and energy-monitoring applications. Featuring a 1250/5 A transformation ratio, it converts a primary current of up to 1250 A into a standard 5 A secondary output for connection to compatible energy meters, multifunction measuring instruments, ammeters and power analysers.
Its robust solid-core construction is designed for new electrical installations where the primary conductor can be routed through the transformer during panel assembly. The DM4T1250 accommodates round cables up to 86 mm in diameter and rectangular busbars measuring 100 × 30 mm, 80 × 50 mm or 70 × 60 mm, making it suitable for high-current industrial power-distribution equipment.
Operating at 50-60 Hz, the transformer provides a rated burden of 15 VA at accuracy class 0.5 and 30 VA at accuracy class 1. DIN rail or screw mounting, screw terminals and an IP30 protection rating ensure dependable long-term operation in demanding industrial environments.

Its large aperture and high burden ratings make it suitable for industrial power-distribution systems, main incomers and high-capacity switchboards where dependable current measurement is essential for energy management and system monitoring.
Typical Applications
- Industrial switchboards and power-distribution panels.
- Main incoming electrical supplies.
- Energy meters and multifunction measuring instruments.
- Power analysers and monitoring systems.
- Industrial automation and machinery.
- Commercial electrical distribution systems.
- Load monitoring and energy management.
- OEM switchgear manufacturing.
