WAGO: New Split-Core Current Transformers with Direct Connection Technology and Short-Circuit Bridge
December 16, 2024
Whether in buildings or directly in machinery, when active primary conductors should not be interrupted, WAGO’s split-core current transformers are an ideal solution. The existing portfolio of split-core current transformers has expanded with 19 new products.
The new split-core current transformers feature robust housings made from flame-retardant polyamide. The click-off hinge allows for complete removal of the top part, making installation easier even in difficult and tight spaces. Thanks to the integrated WAGO 221 Series Inline Splicing Connector with Levers, the new transformers are suitable for direct, tool-free connection of both solid and fine-stranded conductors and offer additional time savings. The integrated short-circuit bridge, which can be plugged into two positions (short-circuit position and storage position), ensures safe installation, commissioning and maintenance.
The user can configure the connection cable themselves, allowing them to individually select the cross-section, length and other specifications. The new series covers primary rated currents from a maximum of 60 to 250 A and is also available with 1 A, 5 A and a transformation ratio of 333 mV. A sophisticated spring system ensures constant contact pressure on the core halves, providing years of consistent and accurate measurements.
WAGO Split-Core Current Transformer Benefits:
- Easy installation thanks to a compact design with a fully detachable top part and WAGO connection technology
- Integrated short-circuit bridge for safe installation, commissioning and maintenance
- Variable connecting cable length – configure it yourself
