===== General description =====

The CT-3-E-xx split core current transformer is designed for fast and easy installation. The split core design permits non-contact current measurements through magnetic field induction without requiring that the primary wire be taken off line and disconnected for CT installation. This method permits a safer easy and portable current measurement. An internal precision burden resistor across the secondary winding of the CT provides a safe low voltage output and permits safe opening of the secondary circuit.
