Low-Voltage Current Transformer / Extended Range Current Transformer (ERCT) for Revenue Metering, Window-Type
ROS-A Series
Extended-Range Current Transformers (ERCT) for Revenue Metering offer precision in billing, with an operating range for accuracy up to 1% ~ 200% of rated current. Our window-type resin-cast current transformers “ROS-A Series” for low-voltage or LV (720 volts / 600 volts, or 0.72 kV / 0.6 kV) applications come in both ERCT and standard varieties. Range of specifications include Metering Class 0.15, Thermal Rating Factor up to 4.0, Current Ratios from 100:5A to 4000:5A, and multiple window diameter options. Special IP65 outdoor edition is available.

About the Product
Resin-insulated current transformers ROS-A Series, designed for billing purposes and suited to 0.72 kV (IEC) or 0.6 kV (IEEE) power systems, offer revenue metering accuracy of Class 0.15 to Class 0.3. Current Ratios available are from 100:5A to 4000:5A, and window diameter options are 38mm, 66mm, 78mm, and 146mm.
ROS-A current transformers are available in two series: Standard Series and ERCT Series (Extended Range Current Transformers). The Standard Series current transformers have a Continuous Thermal Rating Factor of up to 4.0 (see Note 1). The ERCT Series are able to maintain the rated accuracy and burden while measuring 1% ~ 150% or even 1% ~ 200% of the rated current, surpassing the usual metering-class requirement (5% ~ 100%).
All ROS-A current transformers have been type-tested by CIC' s Advanced Electricity Lab, a testing facility accredited by a member of ILAC.

Notes:
1. The Continuous Thermal Rating Factor, also called Thermal Rating Factor (TRF) or Rating Factor (RF), signifies how much the “actual primary current” can exceed the rated Primary Current and still meet accuracy and temperature guidelines. For example, a Rating Factor of 2.0 means the current transformer can continuously handle double its rated Primary Current without overheating.
2. While the product's water-repellent property and standard secondary cover allow for potential outdoor operation under certain conditions, it's not guaranteed to withstand all weather elements. For full outdoor use, contact CIC for our special outdoor option, providing IP65 protection.
