Pickup currently not available
Product Description
Overview
The LMCK-50 1000/5A Accuracy Class 0.5 is a high-capacity, high-accuracy split-core (clamp-on) current transformer designed for demanding electrical measurement applications. With a primary current rating of 1000 A AC and a secondary output of 5 A, this CT delivers precise measurements (±0.5%) under rated conditions. Featuring a ~50 mm aperture, it accommodates large conductors or busbars, making it suitable for industrial, large commercial and energy metering settings.
Key Features

Applications
-
Energy metering & billing systems, especially in industrial plants or large installations
-
Monitoring of heavy loads: large motors, transformer feeds, busbars, service mains
-
Retrofitting into existing wiring without interruption (clamp-on style)
-
Use with power analyzers, monitoring equipment, building management systems
Installation & Safety Notes
-
Make sure the conductor or busbar fits through the ~50 mm aperture without strain or bending of insulation
-
Always connect the secondary side to a measurement device or load (i.e. never leave secondary open while primary is energized)
-
Mount clamp securely and ensure full closure / locking for accuracy & safety
-
Avoid installing in environments with excessive moisture, strong magnetic interference, or temperatures beyond spec
-
Follow applicable electrical codes and safety standards
Benefits
-
High precision (Class 0.5) reduces measurement error — supports accurate energy tracking and billing
-
Large aperture makes it practical for high current conductors or heavy installations
-
Clamp-on design allows for easier installation and retrofitting without system shutdown
-
Durable build with protective housing reduces maintenance cost
