Selection criteria:
The accuracy of the power calculation depends on the accuracy of the current sensors. A class 1 power meter requires current sensors with accuracy much better than 1%, SOCOMEC’s T0816 and ABB’s CTs have an accuracy class of 0.5 thus ensuring efficient measurement.
Split core lets you to directly monitor AC current without breaking or interrupting supply. It is easy to remotely monitor devices that are placed in inaccessible or harsh surroundings. They are easy to install and are snapped over pre-existing wires thus proving ideal for applications requiring portable electricity monitoring devices.
Split core current transformers are used in a wide range of applications such as sub-metering, power factor correction devices, metering in electrical energy meters, active power filter, power measurement device for PLC, sensing overload current, ground fault detection, digital fault recorder, inverters for solar and wind turbine systems, electrical testing, equipment, and relay protection and current, power, energy monitoring devices.
