Foreword • The operating instructions. • The fact that operating instructions can only list general regulations and that these regulations must be followed. • Check the device carefully for transport damage prior to commissioning. The device must not be put into operation if it is mechanically damaged.
SCTxxxx | Current transformers (CT) for energy measurement Fig. 1: SCT current transformers With its SCT current transformers, Beckhoff makes it possible to implement reliable power sensor technology in the field, which is directly integrated into the PC-based control system. Users can select from two device concepts, each with various designs and performance categories that are highly scalable and therefore suitable for any application.
Product overview Product categories – SCTxxxx current transformer Breakdown of the type designation of the SCT current transformer Fig. 2: Designation key of the SCT current transformers Coil current transformers Fig. 3: SCT0xxx In order to guarantee the power transmission, current transformers need a correspondingly large measuring core volume with decreasing primary rated currents.
Product overview Coil current transformers Accuracy class 1, SCT0111 [} 18] primary current 1…30 A, secondary current 1 A Accuracy class 0.5, SCT0121 [} 18] primary current 1…30 A, secondary current 1 A Mini ring-type current transformer Fig. 4: SCT1xxx The SCT1111 mini ring-type current transformer can be positioned on a DIN rail by means of snap-on fastening and is thus suitable for measurements in very tight installation spaces, e.g.
Product overview Ring-type current transformer Fig. 5: SCT2xxx The SCT2xxx series offers a large selection of ring-type current transformers for primary currents from 60 to 2500 A in six sizes and two accuracy classes. The innovative screwless connection technology for rigid and flexible conductors saves time –...

Product overview 3-phase ring-type current transformers Fig. 6: SCT3xxx The compact SCT3xxx 3-phase ring-type current transformers for direct mounting under commonly used power switches measure primary currents from 3 x 50 to 3 x 600 A, with secondary currents of 1 or 5 A. The whole of the SCT3xxx series is available in accuracy class 1 and is supplemented by the SCT3121-0125 and SCT3121-0150 current transformers in accuracy class 0.5.
Product overview Split-core current transformers Fig. 7: SCT6xxx The separable measuring system of the SCT6xxx split-core current transformers enables flexible retrofitting without disconnecting the primary conductor. Due to the minimal installation effort, they are suitable for use in places that are difficult to access or where space is limited. Four sizes are available. Accuracy class 3 is suitable for primary currents from 60 to 150 A, accuracy class 1 for 200 to 1000 A.
Product overview Busbar split-core current transformers Fig. 8: SCT71xx Like the SCT6xxx series, the SCT7xxx busbar split-core current transformers for primary currents up to 5000 A can be retrofitted to existing systems with no great mounting effort. From 500 A, there is a choice between accuracy class 0.5 and 1 for each primary current.
Product overview Notes on class accuracy SCT transformers Current transformers are divided into classes according to their accuracy. The Beckhoff SCT current transformers are available in the standard accuracy classes 0.5; 1 and 3, depending on the product category. The class designation corresponds to an error curve with regard to current amplitude and angular error.
