Current Transformer Ratios

Changing Current Transformer Ratios

The actual current ratio may be changed from the nameplate ratio by wrapping
the primary and/or secondary leads through the window opening.

- Wire from X1 terminal is routed through


ACTUAL NAMEPLATE RATIO ± NUMBER OF SECONDARY TURNS
THROUGH WINDOW OPENING the H1 side
TURNS
RATIO
= NUMBER OF PRIMARY TURNS
+ Wire from X1 terminal is routed through
THROUGH WINDOW OPENING the side opposite the H1 side (H2 side)

Examples
This illustration shows how a current transformer with a nameplate turns ratio of 125:5 can
be rescaled to operate as a non-standard 55:5 ratio transformer.

WHERE:
Nameplate ratio = 125 (125/5)
Number of secondary turns through window = - 3
Use -3 because the secondary wire is routed from
the X1 terminal first through the H1 side.
Use + if the wire was routed first through the side
opposite the H1 side.
Number of primary turns through window = 2

125
— 3
5
= 11

SECONDARY
(5 AAC) TURNS RATIO = 11:1
CURRENT RATIO = 55:5
PRIMARY
(55 AAC)

X2
Black X1 This illustration shows the internal construction of a
White current transformer. The outside face of the trans-
former is identified as H1. The opposite face is iden-
H1 tified as H2. The secondary leads are identified as
X1 and X2.
Current flowing out of terminal X1 will have the same
polarity as current flowing into terminal H1.

Precision, AC Current to
Voltage Transducer

The CR431 series, Current-to-Voltage Transducer


produces a 0-5 Vdc or 0-10 Vdc output signal that is
directly proportional to the input AC current. The out-
put signal is average-sensing, calibrated for RMS.

This transducer is used with process control and


industrial instrumentation equipment. The DC output
signal can be connected directly to a high impedance
analog input of a computer or PLC without additional
signal conditioning.

The series will measure up to 200% of full scale on a


short time basis (1 minute or less) and 150% on a
continuous basis at its rated accuracy.

To protect external circuits from damage caused by


short circuits or motor inrush currents.

EXTERNAL CURRENT TRANSFORMER 3-PHASE SYSTEMS


An external current transformer may be used with the transducer by Three-phase systems may be monitored by attaching three transducers
routing the secondary leads through the window opening. Use the in series. The total output voltage will be the sum of each individual
CR4310-5 or CR4311-5 current transducer with a 5 Amp secondary transducer. If each transducer is sized for the full-scale current, the
instrument grade current transformer. For additional details on current output voltage will be 0-15 Vdc for the CR4310 Series (0-30 Vdc for the
transformers, see page 25. CR4311 Series) at 0 to 100% full-scale. As an alternate, each transducer
may be sized for three times the full-scale current, then the output
voltage for the CR4310 will be 0-5 Vdc for 0 to 100% full-scale.

4-Wire Current Transmitter
4-20 mA Output

The CR4340 series, 4-Wire Current Transmitter pro-


duces a calibrated 4-20 mA DC signal proportional to
the average RMS value of the input alternating cur-
rent. The output signal is produced by an internal
current generator powered from an external 120 Vac
supply. The output signal is unaffected by variations
in interconnect and load impedance (within specifica-
tion limits) thus providing a highly accurate means for
monitoring alternating current over long distances.

The 4-wire transmitter allows for direct attachment to


instrumentation. There is no need for external DC
power as required with 2-wire transmitters.

ed scale instruments designed to accurately measure
three-phase voltages. Each model produces three
discrete 4-20 mA signals which are proportional
(across the selected input voltage range) to the
three-phase input voltage. The output is a true con-
stant current driver which is unaffected by resistance
variations in the output loop of 0-600 ohms. The
CR4730 is designed to measure line-to-line voltages
and the CR4731 to measure line-to-neutral. Both are
average-reading, calibrated to read RMS.

Current Sensing Relay

The CR4395 series, Current Sensing Relay provides


an effective and highly stable method for monitoring
electrical current. The current-carrying wire is routed
through the opening extending from the top of the
case. When current reaches the level set by the trip
point adjustment, the relay trips and starts the
adjustable timer. After the timer cycles the electro-
mechanical relay is energized. A precision voltage
reference circuit ensures a highly repeatable trip
point.

Low Cost Current Switch

The CR9321-LC series is a low cost, self powered,


fixed set-point Current Switch designed for applica-
tions that require an on-off indication of current flow.
Current levels above the guaranteed full-on level will
turn the output to full on. The Current Switch is rec-
ommended only for applications where the continu-
ous operating current is above the rated full on level
of 350 mA. Operation below this point will not drive
the output device full-on and derate the output rat-
ings.
The unit is available with a NPN or PNP output tran-
sistor for switching DC and a SCR output for switch-
ing AC. Connections can be made directly to items
such as a PLC or electromechanical relay. Note that
connections made directly to an inductive device
such as an electromechanical relay will require a Features
customer supplied clamping diode for DC operation
or a snubber network for AC operation. • Low cost

relative to the AC input current (within specification
limits). With the output connected across a resistive
load (burden), the voltage developed is proportional
to the input current.

Horizontal Mounting, PCB
Current Transformer

The CR8750 series, PCB Current Transformer pro-


vides a low cost method for monitoring electrical cur-
rent. The transformer is intended to be mounted on a
Printed Circuit Board with the current-carrying wire
routed through the center window opening. A five-pin,
non-symmetrical mounting pattern ensures correct
orientation on the PCB. Two different winding ratios
are available to accommodate various applications.
The graph below illustrates how different values of
burden resistors attached to the output terminal will
provide a number of different output voltage ranges.

Commercial & Metering
Class Current Transformers

The CR Magnetics line of Instrumentation Grade


Electrical Current Transformers are available in either
Commercial or ANSI Metering Class. The commercial
class transformers are lower cost and well-suited for
current monitoring applications. The ANSI metering
class transformers are higher-cost units intended for
power monitoring applications where high accuracy
and minimum phase angle error are required. Twelve
different window openings and eight different mount-
ing styles along with numerous secondary ratios are RL SFT
available to meet most applications. This short form
catalog shows an overview of our most popular 5
amp secondary transformers. Contact factory for dif-
ferent sizes or unique electrical requirements.

Low Cost Remote Current Indicator

The CR2550 series Remote Current Indicators are


designed as a low cost method for providing a visu-
al indication of electrical current flow. The current-
carrying wire is routed through the window opening
in the current sensing transformer. Attached to the
transformer is a high efficiency, bi-polar LED that
illuminates when the current is above the turn-on
point. The indicator is available as standard with an
11 inch long lead and a red or green LED indicator.

Features
• Low cost for high volume OEM installations Applications
• Low fixed trip point
Fully isolated • Indicate open heater element

Easy to install • Observe remote loads

Self-powered • Indicate phase loss

• Monitor motor operation
