Square D METSECTSP5A4160U – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Square D METSECTSP5A4160U current transformer fit around my existing busbar without shutting down the circuit?
That is what the split-core body is for. The core opens to a 146 mm x 63 mm window and closes back around a busbar or conductor already in place, so you don't have to break the primary circuit to install it. Confirm your bus dimensions fall inside 146 mm x 63 mm before you order, since a larger bar simply won't close in the core.
2) What CT ratio and secondary output does the Square D PowerLogic METSECTSP5A4160U have?
It is a 1600/5 CT: 1600 A primary operational current, 5 A secondary. That means your meter's current inputs have to be the 5 A type, not a 333 mV or Rogowski input. Accuracy is rated at 1 percent.
3) Which Square D meters does this split-core CT work with?
The METSECTSP5A4160U is built to pair with PowerLogic PM5000 and PM3000 series power meters, and with Acti 9 A devices. Those meters have to be ordered or configured for 5 A secondary CT inputs, which is what this unit delivers.
4) Can this current transformer be installed outdoors or in a wet location?
No. The PowerLogic METSECTSP5A4160U is rated indoor use only. For a rooftop, pad-mount, or any exterior service entrance you need the CT inside a suitably rated enclosure or a different outdoor-rated sensor. Typical placements are panelboards, switchgear, switchboards, and indoor load centers.
5) Is the Square D PowerLogic split-core CT UL listed, and which standard does it meet?
UL Listed, and compliant with UL 2808, the safety standard for energy monitoring equipment. It also meets IEC 61869-2 for current transformers. That combination is what most institutional and government sub-metering specs call out for retrofit CT installs.
6) What voltage class and installation category is this Square D CT rated for?
Reinforced insulation is rated 300 V AC and basic insulation 600 V AC, with Installation Category III. That covers typical 480Y/277 V and 208Y/120 V indoor distribution gear. Operating altitude is limited to 2000 m (6561.68 ft).
7) Does this CT come with leads, or do I have to terminate it myself?
It ships with an 8 ft AWG 16 flying lead, so the secondary wiring runs straight to your meter's CT terminals with no separate terminal block. If the meter is farther than 8 ft from the CT location, plan a junction and extension, and keep a shorting block in the circuit per your normal CT practice.
8) Do I need one of these CTs per phase for sub-metering a three-phase feeder?
Each METSECTSP5A4160U senses a single conductor, so a three-phase feeder needs three of them, one per phase, wired to the three current inputs on a PM5000 or PM3000 meter. Add a fourth if you are metering neutral current as well.
9) Will this CT work on a 50 Hz system as well as 60 Hz?
Yes, it's rated for AC networks at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, so the same part number works on North American 60 Hz gear and on 50 Hz equipment.
10) What is the exact part number and origin for this Square D 1600 A split-core CT?
Order it as Square D METSECTSP5A4160U, a PowerLogic 1600/5 split-core current transformer. Country of origin is Mexico, which matters if you are tracking trade-agreement or domestic-content documentation on a project.
11) Is this CT compliant with RoHS and free of mercury and heavy metals?
Yes on all three. The unit is in scope for and compliant with European RoHS, free of SVHC under REACH, mercury free, and free of toxic heavy metals. That is usually the documentation a sustainable-products distributor or a LEED-tracking facility needs on an energy monitoring retrofit.
