ACREL AKH-0.66 P-M8 and P-Double M8 Protection Current Transformer
ACREL AKH-0.66 P-M8 and P-Double M8 Protection Current Transformer are designed for low voltage protection circuits, providing current transformation for relay protection and overload or short circuit detection. The P-M8 supports 100/1 A to 400/1 A ratios, while the P-Double M8 supports 5/5 A to 100/5 A ratios. Their compact M8 construction is suited to applications where installation space is limited.
The ACREL AKH-0.66 P-M8 and P-Double M8 Protection Current Transformer are designed for protection circuits where the transformer is used to provide a suitable secondary current signal to protection equipment. Acrel specifies these models for applications involving low voltage overload and short circuit detection, particularly in relay protection circuits.
The P-M8 version provides rated current ratios from 100/1 A to 400/1 A. The P-Double M8 version provides lower primary current ratios from 5/5 A to 100/5 A, making the two configurations suitable for different protection circuit requirements.
How it works
- The current transformer is installed around the circuit conductor.
- Primary current produces a corresponding secondary current according to the selected current ratio.
- The secondary current can be used by suitable protection equipment to detect abnormal current conditions.
- The transformer forms part of a protection circuit rather than functioning as a standalone monitoring instrument.
Why choose this product
- Designed specifically for low voltage protection applications.
- Provides multiple current ratio options across the P-M8 and P-Double M8 configurations.
- The compact M8 construction is suitable for applications where available cabinet space is limited.
- Available with 1 A and 5 A secondary configurations depending on the selected model and ratio.
Benefits
- Supports relay protection circuit design.
- Provides current transformation for overload and short circuit detection.
- Allows selection of a current ratio suited to the protection circuit.
- Compact dimensions can simplify installation in restricted spaces.
