The ZCT series lead-wire miniature current transformer features a fully enclosed PBT flame-retardant plastic casing, offering excellent mechanical strength and insulation performance.
The product is miniaturised and lightweight, with a standard aperture for easy installation. It can be used independently or mounted on a PCB. The linear output characteristic ensures high-precision current measurement, suitable for various power monitoring and metering applications. The maximum continuous primary current is 4 times the rated current, providing ample overload margin. Operating temperature range varies by material type: General purpose and Ni-Zn type: -40°C to +85°C. High-frequency type: -40°C to +65°C. Storage temperature: -45°C to +85°C.
It is widely used in AC energy meters, power transmitter RTUs, protection CTs, electronic monitoring systems, and anti-tampering single-phase electricity meters.
Notes: Product specifications can be customized
Q: What is the maximum continuous primary current of the ZCT series?
A: The ZCT series maximum continuous primary current is 4 times the rated current. For example, a CT rated at 5A can continuously withstand 20A primary current without damage. This provides ample overload margin, suitable for applications with large grid fluctuations or short-term overload conditions.
Q: Why are there two operating temperature ranges?
A: The general purpose and Ni-Zn type are suitable for a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, suitable for most industrial and power applications. The high-frequency type has an upper operating temperature limit of +65°C, mainly due to material characteristic differences for high-frequency applications. When selecting, please choose the appropriate model based on your actual application environment temperature.
Q: What is the significance of the linear output characteristic of this product?
A: Linear output means the transformer's secondary output is linearly proportional to the primary input within the rated current range. This ensures measurement accuracy consistency under different load conditions. This characteristic is essential for the accuracy of energy metering and power monitoring.
