7KT1280-5MA...

i.   In accordance with NEC, CTs may not be installed in    
 

any panel board where they exceed 75% of the wiring  

 

space of any cross sectional area.

ii.  Do not install a Current Transformer in an area where   
 

it would block ventilation openings.

iii.  Do not install a Current Transformer in area of breaker  
 

arc venting.

iv.  Not suitable for Class 2 wiring methods and not  
 

intended for connection to Class 2 equipment. 

 

Field-installed Class 2, Class 3, and other low voltage    

 

conductors shall be separated by a minimum 1/4 inch   

 

(6.4mm) from factory- or field-installed electric light,   

 

power, Class 1, non-power-limited fire alarm circuit    

 

conductors, and medium power network-powered  

 

 

broadband communications cables. Separation of  

 

 

conductors may be obtained by clamping, routing,  

 

or an equivalent means.

v.  Secure Current Transformers and route conductors so  
 

that they can not directly contact live terminals or  

 

 

current carrying conductors.

The SEM3 series Split Core Current Transformers measure 
rated currents up to 2000 Amps. They may be field installed 
within distribution and control equipment such as panel 
boards, switchboards, industrial control equipment, and 
energy-monitoring / management equipment  to measure 
current on the service entrance or branch circuit conductors.
