Window Opening 1.25 Inch, 250 to 600 Rated Amps

The Accu-CT ACTL-1250 series split-core current transformer (CT) offers revenue grade performance with a unique one-handed opening and closing mechanism. The oval opening can handle a single 750 kcmil (MCM) conductor or two 400 kcmil (MCM) conductors.

  • Safe: burden resistor built-in, 333 mVac voltage output at rated full scale current, no shorting blocks needed
  • IEEE C57.13 and IEC 60044-1 accuracy: over full temperature range and down to 1% of rated current
  • Exceptionally low phase angle error: essential for accurate power and energy measurements
  • Glove-friendly: easy to open and install with one hand while wearing safety gloves
  • Approvals: UL listed, CE mark, RoHS
  • Best low-end accuracy of any split-core CT!

Models

  • List prices for quantity 1 to 30 pieces. Call for pricing on larger quantities.
  • Max Amps is the recommended maximum continuous current. See ACTL-1250 Maximum Amps for details.

Options

Opt C0.6

With Option C0.6, the Accu-CT meets IEEE/ANSI C57.13-2008 class 0.6 accuracy and IEC 60044-1 class 0.5 and class 0.5 S accuracy from -30°C to 55°C and from 1% to 120% of rated primary current (see CT Accuracy Standards).

  • Accuracy improves to ±0.5% from 1% to 120% of rated primary current from -30°C to 55°C.
  • Phase angle improves to ±0.25 degrees from 1% to 120% of rated primary current from -30°C to 55°C.
  • Includes a certificate of calibration
    • Order option C0.6,N if you need the C0.6 accuracy, but do not need a certificate of calibration.

Opt 50Hz

The ACT-1250 series of transformers are not available with a 50 Hz option, because it is not needed. The standard models (including Opt C0.6) meet the accuracy specifications over the full range from 50 to 60 Hz.

Opt FT

The Accu-CT can be ordered with custom lead lengths. For example, Opt FT=50 for 50 foot leads. We also sell extra lead wire to allow for field extension of the leads. Option FT does not affect the accuracy specifications.

Advanced Options

The Accu-CT advanced options are generally not useful when ordering the Accu-CT for use with a WattNode® meter, but may be useful for other applications.
