Why Choose the ABB CMS-120CA 80 A Open-Core Current Sensor?
The ABB CMS-120CA is a compact open-core current sensor designed for branch-circuit monitoring and energy-management applications. As part of the ABB CMS Circuit Monitoring System, this 18 mm sensor provides accurate current measurement for individual electrical circuits and integrates with compatible ABB InSite monitoring equipment.
Designed for universal cable mounting, the CMS-120CA uses an open-core construction that enables convenient installation around existing conductors. Cable-tie mounting makes the sensor independent of a specific protective-device platform, providing a flexible solution for new installations, upgrades and retrofit monitoring within electrical distribution equipment.
With a measurement range of 0.1–80 A, accuracy class 1 and an InSite bus flat-cable interface, the CMS-120CA provides dependable branch-level current measurement while simplifying system wiring. ABB order code 2CCA880220R0001 identifies this 80 A cable-mounted open-core sensor.
