Pickup currently not available
Product Description
Overview
The LMHK-612 3000/5A Accuracy Class 0.5 is a high-capacity current transformer designed for heavy electrical systems where precise measurement is needed. With a primary current rating of 3000 A AC and a secondary output of 5 A, coupled with ±0.5% accuracy, this CT is ideal for metering, monitoring, protection, and energy management in large commercial / industrial installations. The large aperture (approx. 60×120 mm) allows it to accommodate oversized conductors or busbars without the need to disconnect them — making installation simpler and less disruptive.
Key Features
-
Primary Current: 3000 A AC
-
Secondary Current: 5 A AC — giving a 3000:5 ratio
-
Accuracy Class: 0.5 (±0.5%) under rated load / within specified burden
-
Window (Inner Aperture) Size: ~ 60 × 120 mm — suitable for large busbars or cable bundles
-
Type / Design: Split-core (clamp-on) style with release / clamp mechanism so it can be installed without shutting down the primary conductor
-
Housing & Materials: Typical HK-series materials — flame-retardant plastics (e.g. PC or similar, often UL94-V0 rated), appropriate core material (silicon steel or equivalent)
-
Frequency Range: Generally 50-400 Hz (per HK-series spec)
-
Operational Temperature Range: Approx. −25°C to +75°C typical for HK models
-
Insulation & Safety: Dielectric strength around 2.5 kV / 1 mA / 1 min (or as per spec), good insulation resistance, moisture protection

Dielectric Voltage Test | ~2.5 kV AC for 1 minute (common in HK series) |
Materials | Flame-retardant plastic housing, core of silicon steel, internal support epoxy or PBT bobbin / tie materials |
Frequency | 50 / 60 Hz standard; spec may allow broader (up to 400 Hz) in some HK series variants |
Operating Temperature | -25 °C to +75 °C (ambient) |
Output Terminals / Connections | Usually screw/screw-terminal / clamp type suitable for measurement devices or metering panels |
Applications
-
High current monitoring in large switchgear, transformer feeders, busbars
-
Precision metering / energy management in industrial / commercial power systems
-
Retrofit projects where conductor continuity / uptime is important (split-core design allows installation without disconnecting primary)
-
Use in power quality, monitoring, protection and load balancing systems
Installation & Safety Notes
-
Ensure busbars or conductors fit through the 60×120 mm aperture without bending or damaging insulation
-
Always connect secondary side to a measurement device or burden; never leave secondary open when primary is carrying current
-
Clamp / split-core must be completely closed and secured to avoid measurement error and ensure safety
-
Avoid external magnetic fields or interference that can distort readings
-
Keep away from moisture, extreme temperatures beyond rated spec; ensure adequacy of insulation and enclosure per local electrical codes
Benefits
-
High precision (0.5%) gives reliable readings essential for billing, auditing, or critical monitoring
-
Large aperture allows handling of thick conductors or busbars without system disruption
-
Split-core design enables easier and safer installation and maintenance
-
Built with durable materials and safety features, reducing long term maintenance
