The SCT series current transformer has been specially designed to facilitate their installation in new or already existing networks. It is mainly used to measure the current with high accuracy and low cost.
It is not recommended for power and energy measurement because the phase angle error is large and the power is small.
The connection of conventional CTs usually requires the interruption of the primary side circuit to pass cables or bur-bars through the transformer core or to connect such cables to the primary terminals. The Split CT may be installed and connected without any supply interruption. Thus, saving time and the installation costs.
