SCTxxxx | Current Transformers (CT) for Energy Measurement

February 21, 2020

By completing the power measurement chain from the sensor to the cloud, PC-based control specialist Beckhoff enables a significant simplification of energy management approaches and improves the availability of machines and production facilities. Permanently integrated and seamless power measurement across entire installations allows users to perform extensive inline analyses to detect any deviation and take quick corrective action.

Starting point of the Beckhoff measurement chain: SCT current transformers

With its SCT current transformers, Beckhoff makes it possible to implement reliable power sensor technology in the field, which is directly integrated into the PC-based control system. Users can select from two device concepts, each with various designs and performance categories that are highly scalable and therefore suitable for any application. The SCT portfolio is extremely broad-based, ranging from low-cost 3-phase CT sets for building technology to standard industrial transformers for machines through to solutions for inspection and test stands with extra-high accuracy requirements.

The choice of the suitable product category depends on the type of use. While ring-type CTs are predestined for cost-effective and accurate data acquisition in new installations, split-core CTs provide the ideal solution for retrofit solutions due to their easy installation.

SCT current transformers:

  • –   available as ring-type or split-core CTs
  • –   for new installations and retrofits
  • –   various designs and performance classes
  • –   broad application range from buildings to test benches
