These commercial grade, UL & CSA recognized, “donut
style” AC current-transformers (CT) provide an isolated 0-5A
output that can be used with DATEL’s ACA5 Series of digital
ammeters. Installation is straightforward: simply pass the load-
carrying conductor through the 5A CT’s primary window, and
then route its secondary’s leads through the ACA5-ammeter’s
built-in, low-burden, toroid sensor.
All models feature rugged, fully insulated construction, allow-
ing continuous operation with primary voltages up to 600Vac,
at line frequencies from 50 to 400Hz. Fourteen models are
available to enable accurate measurements from 50A through
2000A. When combined with DATEL’s ACA5 Series ammeters,
secondary lead-extensions may be used for those applications
where the CT cannot be installed in the immediate vicinity of
the ammeter.

with DATEL’s ACA5 series ammeters). However, any CT can generate
potentially lethal voltages if its output current is suddenly interrupted.
For example, loose secondary connections can produce a condition
referred to as “inductive kick.” Inductive kick can generate extremely
high voltages across the open secondary connections.
Therefore, all connections made to a CT’s secondary leads must only
be performed with zero current flowing in the primary circuit. Never
operate a CT with its secondary circuit open and current flowing in
the primary.
2. CT Connections and Grounding:
Some applications require con-
necting one of the CT’s 5A output terminals to earth/chassis ground.
In the USA, consult the latest revision of the National Electrical Code
for more information.
After all mechanical assembly is completed, pass the 5A secondary
leads through the ACA5 ammeter’s built-in toroid, then connect the
two leads together as shown in Figure 1. For this connection, and
for connections involving lead extensions, pressure-style connectors
(commonly called “wire nuts”) are acceptable as long as they are rated
for the currents and voltages involved.
3. Installation:
CT’s must be installed in a manner that ensures no
excessive stresses are applied to the primary conductor that passes
through the CT or to the secondary circuit and its associated instru-
ments. Use plastic tie-wraps and/or other suitable non-conductive
restraining devices to secure the CT.

Tehnical Notes
IMPORTANT! To ensure safe and reliable operation, Current Trans-
formers and associated equipment must be installed and serviced
by qualified technical personnel. Never open the CT’s secondary
connections while the primary is energized. Open CT secondary
wiring can generate potentially lethal voltages when the primary
circuit is energized. Contact DATEL if you have any doubts
regarding the installation or operation of any of our ac-mains
measurement instruments and accessories.
1. CT Precautions:
In normal operation, a 5A current transformer’s
secondary circuit operates at a relatively low voltage due to its closed-
loop, low burden configuration (essentially zero Ohms when used

4. Reference Documentation:
Prior to connecting CTs to any measure-
ment device (analog or digital), relay, or other apparatus, be sure to
thoroughly review the applicable device’s technical documentation (for
example, DATEL’s ACA5-20PC product data sheet). In particular, make
sure the CT’s ratings meet the requirements of your application.
5. Secondary Lead Extensions:
When calculating the total burden
imposed on a CT’s 5A output, DATEL’s ACA5 digital ammeters’ input
impedance is negligible and can be assumed to be zero Ohms. In
many applications, the length of secondary wiring can be increased
up to the value specified in Table 1 without adversely affecting perfor-
mance.
In order to achieve the specified accuracy, the maximum permissible
burden must not exceed the value shown in Table 1. When used with
ACA5 ammeters, the total burden is the sum of the resistance of the
CT’s 24” leads and any lead-extensions. Make sure all connections are
securely tightened and properly strain relieved. If terminal blocks are
used for intermediary connections, refer to the manufacturer’s torque
recommendations.
Table 1 lists general guidelines for adding lead extensions when using
DATEL’s ACA5-Series ammeters as the readout device. The lengths in
Table 1 assume the lead extensions are 16AWG. Stated dimensions
are one-way distances between the ACA5 and the CT. Make sure
all secondary extensions meet or exceed the specifications of the
CT’s built-in leads. In order to minimize external noise pick up, lead
extensions should be as kept short as possible.
6. Accuracy:
The indicated accuracy specifications are valid as long as
the total secondary burden does not exceed the value in Table 1’s
burden column. Accuracy measurements are taken at 100% primary
current, using a resistive burden and a nominal line frequency of 60Hz.
7. Polarity:
CTs are marked with ‘H1’ (primary) and ‘X1’ (secondary)
polarity indicators. When a CT’s only function is to measure amperes,
polarity markings can be disregarded. However, correct polarity is
mandatory in applications in which the phase relationship between
two currents is involved (watt or watt-hour meters are two examples
of polarity sensitive applications). Refer to the respective instruments’
documentation for more information.
8. Thermal Rating Factor:
The thermal rating factor denotes the amount
by which the primary current can be increased on a continuous
basis over its rated value without exceeding the CT’s maximum tem-
perature rise.
The formula below can be used to calculate thermal rating factors at
temperatures above 30°C.
