Pickup currently not available
Product Description
Overview
The LMCK-24 250/5A Accuracy Class 1 is a high-capacity, clamp-on (split-core) current transformer designed for general metering, monitoring, and protection applications where 250 A primary current must be converted to 5 A secondary current. With a Class 1 accuracy, it offers ±1% error under rated conditions, making it suitable for many industrial, commercial, and residential energy measurement tasks.
Key Features
-
Brand / Series: LMCK-24 (Zhikai) – split-core type with clamp design.
-
Primary Current: 250 A AC
-
Secondary Current: 5 A AC
-
Accuracy: Class 1 (1.0%) — good for general-level metering and monitoring. (Note: Zhikai offers different accuracy classes; confirm with supplier.)
-
Inner Window / Diameter: ~ 24 mm for the LMCK-24 variant — fits typical cable or conductor sizes.
-
Housing: Flame retardant plastic, moisture protected; stable over time; minimal maintenance needed.
-
Self-locking clamp mechanism for easy installation without interrupting the primary conductor.

Applications
-
Energy / power monitoring in panels, switchboards, and distribution boards
-
Load monitoring, consumption tracking, and general metering in industrial or commercial installations
-
Retrofit installations where the circuit cannot be interrupted
-
Use with power meters, PLCs, SCADA systems, etc.
Installation & Safety Notes
-
Make sure the conductor to be measured passes cleanly through the ~24 mm opening without strain or deformation.
-
The secondary winding must always be terminated (connected to measurement device or load) when the primary is carrying current — an open-circuit secondary can lead to dangerous voltages.
-
Secure clamp fully closed, ensure stable mounting, avoid vibration.
-
Keep the housing clean and away from extreme temperature or moisture beyond rated limits.
-
Check local electrical codes / safety standards for installation.
Benefits
-
Allows measurement without disrupting existing wiring (clamp-on)
-
Good accuracy (Class 1) for many metering applications
-
Durable, low maintenance design
-
Compatible with standard instrumentation (meters, analyzers)
