Check that power is being supplied to the instrument, and then apply the primary current.
5.
Read the measured values. The following calculation is used to determine the current flowing
through the primary conductor.
Example: When the output current from the instrument's secondary connector (pin 6) is 100 mA.
CT2000A: 100 mA x 2000 = 200 A
Note
• If the operation status LED is off even when power is being supplied to the instrument, the
protection function may be activated. Immediately stop the primary current.
• Only pass conductors through the primary conductor feed-through hole if the current that you
want to measure is flowing through the conductors and their current directions are the same.
Correct measurements cannot be taken if you pass conductors with magnetic shielding or
conductors whose current directions are opposite of each other through the feed-through hole.
• Make sure the primary wiring and secondary wiring do not interfere with each other. The
secondary wiring may be affected by the primary wiring because it uses a very small current.
Make the secondary wiring as short as possible and maintain its distance from the primary
wiring, without allowing them to be parallel to each other. We recommend AWG24 or higher for
the secondary wiring material. Twisted-pair may be better than shielded cable for measurement
applications such as inverters.
•
The instrument outputs current. Connect the instrument to a measuring instrument with
current input. To connect the instrument to a measuring instrument with voltage input, use an
appropriate shunt resistor to connect the instrument to the voltage input terminals.
•
Configure your setup so that the load resistance of the measuring instrument connected to the
secondary signal output is within the specification range.
•
Correct measurements may not be possible in places where there is an extremely strong
external magnetic field besides the magnetic fields produced by the primary current of the
object to be measured or where there is a strong electric field.
Power Off If Abnormal Behavior Occurs
If you notice smoke or unusual odors coming from the instrument, immediately turn off the
measuring instrument supplying the power. Then, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.

The LED turns on.
Overloaded V+
The LED turns off. A low frequency signal is output
as a secondary signal output.
Overload Protection
The overload occurs when the primary current Ip exceeds a trip level such that the fluxgate detector
becomes completely saturated and, consequently, the current sensor will switch from normal
operation to overload mode.
This trip level is guaranteed to be greater than Ipm (3000Apeak) and its actual value depends on
operating conditions such as temperatures and measuring resistance.
During the overload mode, the current sensor generates and outputs a low frequency signal.
The measuring operation resumes when the primary current returns in the measuring range
between –Ipn and +Ipn (2000Arms).
Test Winding Connector
The test winding connector is used to test the operation of the current sensor.
When a current is applied between the positive and negative Ip test pins, a current that corresponds
to the test current winding number of 200 and current transformation ratio of 2000:1 is output from
the secondary signal output pin.
Example: When 1 A is applied between the positive and negative Ip pins, 100 mA is output from the
secondary signal output pin.
Note
To measure the current of the primary conductor that has been passed through the through hole,
do not connect anything to the test winding Ip+ or Ip- pin. If connected, errors may be induced in
the sensor output.
