TRANSFORMER SERIES

CT Operating Datasheet

Issue 2.0

Indication

Before initial operation we ask to you pay full attention to these assembling instructions in order to
guarantee the reliability and to ensure the performance of the device.

Functional Description

Current transformers of the model range Omega are inductive single conductor-current
transformers operating according to the transformer principle. Due to the applicated measuring
principle, current transformers of this type may only be installed in alternating current (AC)
networks.

Safety Instructions

TRANSFORMER SERIES

Features

Low voltage Current Transformer

Omega Xmer Series

Omega 10 Series

Omega 20 Series

In order to avoid personal and material damage the following assembling steps must
be performed only by authorised, qualified and trained personnel.

If the secondary circuit is operated without a burden/load (open) high-voltages may
appear. These voltage values are dangerous for persons as well as for the functional
reliability of the current transformer. 

It is forbidden to operate the current

transformer without a secondary circuit (open)!

Assembly

1.

Ensure a safe work environment during assembly, maintenance and inspection operations. If 
necessary interrupt the current supply of the primary conductor and take precautions against 
unintentional switching.

2

(i)

For Split Core CT : Open the current transformer and fix it on the primary conductor using the 
fixing clamps (mounting material).

(ii) For Window type CT : Bar or cable primary insert through primary cable or bus bar & fix it using 

mounting screw assembly.

P1: Direction of power supply

P2: Direction of power source

Attention:

(i)

For Split Core CT Do not close the current transformer, high voltages may appear on the open 
secondary leads.

(ii) Check the cleanness of the cut surfaces of the split core.

3.

Connect the secondary wires of the current transformer with the measuring device (ampere meter, 
energy meter). Pay attention to the installation guide of the measuring device.

4.  Now fasten the current transformer, press until the lock engage.

5.

If necessary, start the current supply again.

6.  Check whether the current transformer is assembled correctly and the secondary leads are 

connected properly.

7.  For split core CT, use ‘lock pin’ supplied along with CT to protect accidential opening of CT, 

during use.
