±400 A Full-Scale high precision DCCT based on the 0-FLUCS technology available in the current-output or voltage-output version
The 0-FLUCS (0-FLUx Current Sensor) current transducer family is based on a closed loop technology that allows reaching best-in-class performance for a variety of applications.
The CT-400 transducers are rated at a at maximum bipolar primary current of 400 A with a transform ratio of 1:2000.
Galvanic isolation between the primary and the secondary circuits allows to measure currents at a different potential and simplifies interfacing when using the 0-FLUCS as the feedback element of current regulated power supplies.
Output from the CT-400 transducers can be chosen between two different versions: secondary current output or buffered voltage output (low temperature coefficient shunt resistor and low-noise amplifier are embedded in the device).
Main characteristics of the 0-FLUCS current transformers are negligible temperature coefficient on the secondary output current, excellent linearity and extremely low noise.
DC current transformers represents the ideal replacement for systems where Hall-effect sensors are used as current sensing elements and better performances are needed.
0-FLUCS exclusive technology allows the user to obtain performances which cannot be reached with other current sensing techniques.

0-FLUCS Exclusive Technology – An Overview
Main application fields for these current transducers are all the ones where the accuracy and precision of the current measurement is critical:
Due to the excellent characteristics, the CT-400 transducers can be used in a variety of calibration, acceptance testing and quality control applications in industrial, power generation and automotive fields.
Commercially available versions of the CT-400 current transformers are the current-output CT-400 and the respective voltage-output version CT-400V. A LED indicating the correct operation of the device is present on all versions.
The CT-400 can be used with the dedicated PS1215 low-noise AC-DC power supply available in two different versions differing by their cablings: take a look at versions dedicated to the current-output and the voltage-output current transducer series on the PS1215 product page.
For a complete measurement solution, the CT-400 is part of the CT-BOX-400 system, a complete solution for monitoring bipolar current up to 400 A.
