Applications requiring 5A Current Transformer outputs require the
use of the CS005 Class 10 Current Sensor as an interposing sen
sor which reduces the input to the meter module to <10ma . ANSI
C12 .20 class 0 .5% accuracies may be achieved using either the
Eaton CSXXX 10 mA or PXMP-CSXXX 100 mA current sensors and
direct voltage metering . Interposing Potential and current transform
ers may introduce additional error .
The PXMP Meter supports a variety of current sensors . Eaton offers
some sensors specially designed for use with our products . We also
support the use of industry standard current sensors . When specify
ing current sensors, in general, note that:
• Solid core sensors tend to have higher accuracy than split core
designs .
• Split core sensors are often installed in Retrofit applications where
it is not practical to disconnect the load conductors in order to
mount a solid core sensor .
• Current loop output sensors tend to have accuracy and noise
immunity advantages over 333 mV output sensors .
• 333 mV sensors are very useful since they eliminate open circuit
risks and are available in a wide range of primary current ratings .
• Eaton’s CS005 enables the PXMP Meter to interface to standard
5 A current transformers, either split core or solid core .
