Eaton CT-SP-4-200-5A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Eaton CT-SP-4 series current transformer used for?
The CT-SP-4 measures electrical current in power distribution systems. It transforms high primary current down to a standard 5A secondary output for safe monitoring by meters, relays, and control equipment.
2) What primary current range does this model handle?
This CT-SP-4 model handles 200:5A ratio, meaning 200A primary current transforms to 5A secondary. The split-core design allows installation without disconnecting existing conductors.
3) What voltage systems is this transformer compatible with?
The unit is rated for 600V input systems. It works with standard commercial and industrial voltage levels. Always verify system voltage matches the 600V rating before installation.
4) How do you install a split-core current transformer?
Open the split-core mechanism and place around the conductor. Ensure the core closes completely with no air gaps. Connect secondary wires to your measuring equipment. Never open the secondary circuit while primary current flows.
5) What temperature range can this CT operate in?
Operating temperature range is 10°C to 60°C (50°F to 140°F). This covers most indoor electrical room environments. Avoid installation in areas exceeding these temperature limits.
6) What accuracy class does this current transformer provide?
This unit provides 0.5% accuracy class for precise current measurement. This accuracy level meets requirements for most commercial metering and monitoring applications.
7) What conductor sizes fit through this CT?
Check the CT opening dimensions against your conductor size. The split-core design accommodates various cable and busbar configurations. Verify physical clearance before ordering.
8) Can you use this CT with variable frequency drives?
Standard current transformers may have accuracy limitations with VFD harmonic content. Check with the meter manufacturer for VFD compatibility requirements and consider specialized CTs if needed.
9) What secondary circuit protection is required?
Always short-circuit CT secondary terminals before disconnecting meters. Use appropriate CT shorting blocks or switches. Never leave CT secondary open while primary current flows as this creates dangerous voltages.
10) Are there other ratios available in the CT-SP-4 series?
The CT-SP-4 series offers multiple current ratios for different applications. Browse our Eaton electrical products for other available ratios and specifications.
11) Does this CT require periodic calibration or maintenance?
Current transformers typically require minimal maintenance. Keep the unit clean and inspect connections periodically. Recalibration intervals depend on your facility's accuracy requirements and local codes.
