Circutor M78037 TP10 Split Core Current Transformer 1250/5A, 80x120mm

The Circutor TP10 1250/5 (code M78037) is a single-phase split core current transformer that can be clamped around live conductors and flat busbars up to 80 x 120 mm without interrupting the power supply. It steps a 1250 A primary current down to a standard 5 A secondary output and is available across three accuracy classes, making it a practical choice for retrofitting current measurement into large distribution panels and switchboards.

Features and benefits:

• Split core design lets the transformer be fitted around live cables or busbars without cutting power, removing the need for planned outages during installation.
• Wide 80 x 120 mm aperture accommodates the large flat busbars and high-current conductors common in main distribution boards and substations.
• Three selectable accuracy classes (0.5, 1, and 3) allow the unit to be matched to energy billing, general metering, or protection relay applications.
• Self-extinguishing V0 enclosure limits fire propagation risk inside electrical panels and switchgear cabinets.
• Dual-frequency rating (50/60 Hz) makes the transformer suitable for use in both European and international power systems.

Applications:

• Retrofitting current sensing into energised distribution boards and motor control centres without service interruption.
• Energy metering and consumption monitoring on 1250 A single-phase circuits in industrial and commercial buildings.
• Providing a 5 A secondary signal to power analysers, multifunction meters, and protection relays.
• Current measurement on large flat busbar installations in switchboards where dismantling is impractical.
