Part No. 24-10345-69, Rev. D
Issued March 2016
Applications
The Current Transducer Device (CTD) Series of anal og
output current transducers are nonintrusive devices
designed to detect current flowing through a cable or
wire. These units are a cost-effective solution for
monitoring load or proof of operation. The current
transducers are ideal for monitoring current loads on
pumps, driving fans and blowers, and sensing the
status of heating coils and lighting. CTD devices used
for load trending over time are effective sensors for
predictive maintenance programs.
Optional command relays provide externally controlled
auxiliary contacts. The relays offer a solution for
switching loads that require higher power levels than
the rating of the current switch contacts.
These units are available with standard 4 to 20 mA
current loop, 0 to 5 VDC, and 0 to 10 VDC analog
output. Completely self-powered, the CTD-C2G00-1
and CTD-3H00-1 units draw their power from the
current induced from the monitored cable or line. The
CTD-C1G00-1 device requires a 24 VDC power supply.
IMPORTANT: The CTD Series Current Transducer
Device is intended to provide an input to equipment
under normal operating conditions. Where failure or
malfunction of the transducer could lead to personal
injury or property damage to the controlled
equipment or other property, additional precautions
must be designed into the control system.
Incorporate and maintain other devices, such as
supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit
controls, intended to warn of or protect against
failure or malfunction of the transducer.
IMPORTANT : Le CTD Series Current Transducer
Device est destiné à transmettre des données
entrantes à un équipement dans des conditions
normales de fonctionnement. Lorsqu'une défaillance
ou un dysfonctionnement du transducer risque de
provoquer des blessures ou d'endommager
l'équipement contrôlé ou un autre équipement, la
conception du système de contrôle doit intégrer des
dispositifs de protection supplémentaires. Veiller
dans ce cas à intégrer de façon permanente
d'autres dispositifs, tels que des systèmes de
supervision ou d'alarme, ou des dispositifs de
sécurité ou de limitation, ayant une fonction
d'avertissement ou de protection en cas de
défaillance ou de dysfonctionnement du transducer.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to install the CTD Series
Current Transducer Device only on the input side of
a variable speed drive.

WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect the power supply before
making electrical connections. Cont act with
components carrying hazardous voltage
can cause electric shock and may result in
severe personal injury or death.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de
décharge électrique.
Débrancher l'alimentation avant de réaliser
tout branchement électrique. Tout contact
avec des composants conducteurs de
tensions dangereuses risque d'entraîner
une décharge électrique et de provoquer
des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
WARNING: Risk of Personal Injury.
Do not touch the relay while power is
applied to it. The relay surface is hot
during use, and may cause a serious
burn upon contact.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de
blessure.
Ne pas toucher le relais lorsque le relais
est sous tension. La surface du relais
devient extrêmement chaude durant son
utilisation et risque de provoquer des
brûlures graves en cas de contact.
Wiring
1. Disconnect the conductor cable from the power
source.
2. Snap the split core around the power conductor
cable, and close the core until the core snaps shut.
3. Wire the CTD output terminals to the control box
Analog Input (AI) terminal. See Technical Specifications for wire size and screw torque.
4. Select the input current range at the front panel
slide switch. See Figure 5 and Setting the Current Range section.
5. Reconnect the power conductor cable. For a wiring
example, see Figure 2.

If the measured current is too low to be detected or it is
higher than the maximum current rating of the CTD
device, use the following methods to increase or
decrease the current.

Wrap the conductor (wire) through the sensing hole
and around the CTD body to produce multiple turns to
increase the measured current. The measured current
is equal to the actual current multiplied by the number
of turns (Figure 3).
You must scale the controller to account for the extra
turns. If four turns pass through the transducer as
shown, the normal controller reading must be divided
by 4.
IMPORTANT: Failure to derate the current cap acity
could result in damage to the CTD device when
using multiple turns to increase the measured
current. Use the following formula to determine the
new maximum current:
The new maximum current is equal to the CDT
current rating divided by the number of turns.
Example: If the new maximum current is equal to the
CDT current rating of 120 A, then
Maximum Current = 120 A / 4 = 30 A.
2. Run the CT secondary wire through the sensing
hole.
3. Terminate the two secondary wires of the 5 A CT to
each other, and then install the 5 A CT on the
monitored conductor.
4. Set the CTD device for the lowest current range
(20 or 30 A).
Setup and Adjustments
Setting the Current Range
Position the current range slide switch to a level
consistent with the load.

To Monitor Currents Exceeding the Maximum
Current Rating of the CTD Device
For currents greater than 120 A (CTD-C1G00-1 and
CTD-C200-1), or greater than 150 A (CTD-C3H00-1),
proceed as follows.
1. Use a 5 A Current Transformer (CT) to reduce the
current passing through the CTD device, as shown
in Figure 4.
