Magnelab has recognized that in most applications requiring an accurate measurement of the amount of current passing through a conductor, current to current transformer outputs must be converted, or burdened, into a usable and measurable voltage output. It has also been determined that if this is not done correctly, the phase angle shift and output voltage amplitude and linearity cannot be accurately controlled. Magnelab has developed two U.L. listed current transformer styles that are designed to eliminate this problem. The SCT series are split core (opening) style current transformers, and the UCT series are solid core style current transformers. Both are manufactured and pre-burdened to a specified output voltage in a controlled environment in order to ensure the minimum phase angle shift, primary to secondary, and maximum voltage output accuracy and linearity over the specified primary current range.
