MCT-0016 Split-Core AC Current Transducer
4 to 20 mAdc Transducer
Magnelab’s MCT-0016 Split-Core AC Current Transducer (previously MAG-J16M420) is a 16mm split-core current sensor that transforms an AC current input 10 to 100 Amps to a 4-20 mAdc output. Split-core transducers are ideal for installation on existing electrical wiring by snapping around the conductor. The MCT-0016 has a self-locking mechanism.

MCT-0016 | Description
The Magnelab MCT-0016 was previously sold under the name MAG-J16M420. It is a split core current sensor with a 16 mm opening and is able to transform 10 to 100 Amps of AC current input into an output of 4 to 20 mA DC current. A current transformer with 4-20 ma output like this one is perfect for electrical wiring installations that are already installed. This is because it comes with a self locking mechanism that allows it to simply be snapped around the existing conductor easily and safely.
The MCT-0016 current sensor has a rated input starting at 10 Amp and going up to 100 Amp. This gives it an output of standard 4 to 20 mA DC. The accuracy of this particular device is 2%, and it has a ripple within just 2% of the output voltage as well. The maximum load resistance of the MCT-0016 is 600 Ohms at P/S of 24V.
