Pickup currently not available
Product Description
Overview
The LMCK-50 1200/5A Accuracy Class 0.5 is a high-capacity, high-precision clamp-on (split-core) current transformer designed for AC systems where precise metering is required. With a primary current rating of 1200 A and a standard secondary output of 5 A, and with an error tolerance of ±0.5% under rated conditions, this CT is suitable for demanding industrial, commercial, or power monitoring applications. Its 50 mm inner aperture allows accommodation of large conductors or busbars.

Applications
-
High-current load monitoring in switchgear, industrial panels and distribution boards
-
Precise energy metering, power quality measurement, billing or audit grade monitoring
-
Retrofitting in existing installations without shutting off service or disconnecting conductors
-
Integration with power analyzers, industrial controllers, SCADA/BMS systems
Installation & Safety Guidelines
-
Ensure the conductor (cable or busbar) fits cleanly through the ~50 mm aperture without damaging insulation
-
Always connect the secondary side to a burden (meter or resistor); do not leave the secondary open when the primary is energized – this is critical for safety and to avoid excessive voltage buildup
-
Secure the clamp fully; mechanical stability is important for consistent readings
-
Avoid exposing the CT to temperatures, moisture or electromagnetic interference beyond its rated limits
-
Follow all applicable electrical codes and safety standards in your jurisdiction
Benefits
-
High precision (0.5% accuracy) gives confidence in metering / billing and measurement tasks
-
The large aperture and high primary current capacity handle demanding installations
-
Clamp-on design eases installation and maintenance; no need to break primary conductors
-
Durable, low-maintenance construction – cost savings over time
