The FICO Hi‑Tech ELC‑30 Current Transformer (CT) is a dependable and cost‑effective solution for accurate AC current measurement and energy monitoring across a wide variety of settings — from residential boards to commercial and light‑industrial distribution panels. With selectable primary-to-secondary current ratios from 30/5 A up to 300/5 A, this CT delivers a stable 5 A secondary output, making it fully compatible with standard energy meters, panel meters, power analyzers, and protective relays.
Key Features & Technical Highlights
-
Flexible Ratio Options: Choose from 30/5 A, 60/5 A, 100/5 A, 150/5 A, 200/5 A or 300/5 A to match your load requirements — ideal for small residential circuits to medium commercial mains.
-
Standard 5 A Secondary Output: The secondary side provides a standard 5 A output current, ensuring seamless integration with common meters and analyzers.
-
Galvanic Isolation & Safety: As a transformer‑type CT, the ELC‑30 isolates the measurement circuit from high‑current primary lines — protecting both measuring instruments and personnel.
-
High Accuracy & Stability: The CT design (magnetic core + precisely wound secondary) ensures accurate current transformation, making it suitable for energy metering and load monitoring applications.
-
Compact & Easy Installation: Designed for low‑voltage switchgear and panel use; compatible with busbars or conductors in residential, commercial, or light‑industrial environments.
-
Wide Operating Conditions: Engineered to work reliably under typical mains frequencies (50/60 Hz) and environmental conditions — suitable for standard electrical installations.
Suitable Applications
- Residential and commercial energy meter CTs for load monitoring and consumption tracking
- Distribution boards, panel metering, sub‑panels, and switchgear in small to medium installations
- Light industrial plants or workshop setups with moderate current loads
- Integration with digital panel meters, power analyzers, energy management systems, and industrial automation controls
Why Choose ELC‑30?
If you need a versatile, reliable and budget‑friendly CT, the ELC‑30 is a great choice. Its selectable ratio range means you don’t need different CT models for different loads — one ELC‑30 can cover many scenarios, from residential circuits to commercial panels. The standard 5 A secondary output ensures compatibility with most meters, while its transformer‑based design offers safety and isolation. For those setting up new installations, retrofitting panels, or standardizing CTs across a facility, ELC‑30 offers a balance of performance, flexibility, and economy.
