Wire Lead Current Transformers

Model 17, 18, 19 Series CR Magnetics offers a versatile line of rugged wire
lead current transformers. Installed around a
current-carrying wire, the sensor provides a current
output relative to the AC input current (within
specification limits). With the output connected across
a resistive load (burden), the voltage
developed is proportional to the input current.

Applications
Remote monitoring of electrical loads

Current Transformers
Input to electrical control system
Detect open heater elements
Indicate phase loss

Model 17 & 18 Monitor motor operation
