Description:
The DCT-0036 by Magnelab was previously sold under the name MAG-J36D005-500. This current transformer is a split core current sensor with a 36mm opening. It is able to transform an AC current input of up to 500 Amps to 0 to 5 Vdc output. The current transformer design means it is perfect for installation on electrical wiring that have already been installed. The device can simply snap around the existing, pre-installed conducted. Since the DTC-0036 comes with a self-locking mechanism, this can be done quickly and easily.
The DCT-0036 is used in a variety of applications. It can even be used in small industrial motors. However, it most commonly seen in refrigeration, pumps and HVAC systems, lighting and fans.
The device has a number of important features. It comes with a rated 500A input. The rated output is 5V dc. Like with other similar transformers, such as the DCT-0024 current sensor, it has a built in output limit for safety as well. With this transformer, it is 7.5 Vdc. The accuracy is impressive at full scale, ranging from 2% either up or down. Its operating frequencies are 50 to 60 Hz. The output impedance on the DCT-0036 is 5.8 kOhms, with an output ripple of 5%, again either up or down. The operating temperature ranges from minus 20 degrees Celsius at an RH of 85% or below. It is fully CE certified, and complies with ISO 9001.
