Options

Opt C0.6

All CTL-1250 models come with Option C0.6 indicating that they meet IEEE/ANSI C57.13-2008 class 0.6 accuracy and IEC 60044-1 class 0.5 and class 0.5 S accuracy from -30°C to 55°C (see CT Accuracy Standards).

Accuracy improves to ±0.5% from 1% to 120% of rated primary current from -30°C to 55°C.
Phase angle improves to ±0.25 degrees from 1% to 120% of rated primary current from -30°C to 55°C.
Includes a certificate of calibration
- Order option C0.6,N if you need the C0.6 accuracy, but do not need a certificate of calibration.
