Pickup currently not available
Product Description
Overview
The LMCK-24 400/5A Accuracy Class 0.5 is a high-precision, clamp-on (split-core) current transformer built to accurately meter up to 400 A in AC electrical systems, converting it to a 5 A secondary. With Class 0.5 accuracy, it offers very low error under rated current, making it suitable for demanding metering or billing applications.
Key Features
-
Primary Current Rating: 400 A AC
-
Secondary Current Rating: 5 A AC — ratio of 400:5
-
Accuracy Class: 0.5 (±0.5% typical) — ensures high precision under rated and near-rated load
-
Design: Split-core (clamp-on) — allows retrofitting, installation without disconnecting the primary conductor
-
Round Window / Inner Diameter: (typical LMCK-24 standard) ~24 mm window — suitable for many cable / conductor sizes
-
Housing: Flame-retardant plastic, moisture-protected, stable under typical ambient conditions — minimal maintenance required
-
Safety / Construction: Insulated, robust clamp mechanism; similar to others in LMCK series. Confirm isolation rating and insulation strength.
Technical Specifications (Typical / Expected)
Specification | Value / Comment |
---|---|
Ratio | 400 A : 5 A |
Accuracy Class | 0.5 (±0.5%) at rated current |
Window / Aperture Size | ~24 mm (LMCK-24) |
Rated Frequency | 50 / 60 Hz (confirm with supplier) |
Frequency Response / Measuring Range | Perhaps ~10% to 120-130% or more of rated primary (common for such CTs) |
Housing Material | Flame retardant plastic (e.g. ABS or similar) |
Maximum Burden (VA) | To confirm — CT datasheet will give permissible load on secondary |
Operating Temperature Range | Confirm supplier spec (e.g. -20°C to +60°C or similar) |
Insulation / Dielectric Strength | Confirm per manufacturer (e.g. isolation voltage) |
Safety Notes | Never leave secondary circuit open when primary is live; ensure correct installation |
Applications
-
Precision metering in switchboards, mains distribution, panel meters
-
Billing / energy-use measurements where low error is required
-
Integration with advanced power analyzers, SCADA, building management systems
-
Retrofitting existing installations without breaking circuits
Installation & Safety Guidelines
-
Ensure conductor / busbar passes through clamp opening without tight deformation
-
Always terminate the secondary in a suitable load (meter/burden) — do not operate with secondary open
-
Secure clamp tightly; ensure mechanical stability
-
Keep CT away from strong external magnetic influences or high stray fields
-
Follow local codes and safety standards
Benefits
-
High accuracy (Class 0.5) reduces measurement error — good for precision monitoring & billing
-
Clamp-on design means easier installation, less downtime
-
Durable build, low maintenance
-
Compatible with standard secondary devices expecting 5 A
