Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Atmospheric to 1.5 bar (typical for non-submersible applications) |
| other spec: | Current Range: 0-100A (typical), Frequency Range: 50/60Hz to 400Hz, Isolation Voltage: 2.5kV RMS (min), Accuracy: ±1% (typical) |
| temperature: | -40°C to +85°C (operating), -55°C to +105°C (storage) |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.
Quoted from the published standard.
1 company lists this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The output signal is typically a low-voltage AC signal proportional to the primary current, often in the range of 0–5 V AC. The exact value depends on the model and must be verified with the manufacturer.
Select the rated current based on the maximum current expected in the primary conductor. The reference range is 5–5000 A, but the specific value must be chosen according to the application and confirmed with the supplier.
Relevant standards include IEC 61869-1 (general requirements), IEC 61869-2 (current transformers), and IEC 60529 (degrees of protection). These standards are references for verification, not proof of certification.
Yes, but the accuracy class differs: lower classes (e.g., 0.5) are for metering, while higher classes (e.g., 1.0) are for protection. The required class depends on the application and must be specified.
