1. Cautionary Notes for Safe Use of the Products
The following symbol is indicated on the instrument and in this manual to
ensure safe use.
This symbol is indicated where the operator must refer to instruction s
in the manual in order to protect both personnel and the instrument.
This symbol on the product indicates that the operator must refer to
an explanation in the user’s manual in order to avoid the risk of injury
or death of personnel and damage to the instrument. The manual
describes how the operator should exercise special care to avoid
electric shock or other dangers that may in injury or loss of life.
The purpose of the following conventional symbol in this manual is:

Handling Precautions and Installation Locatio n
N OTE
● Note that these current transformers are designed for use with
general-purpose instruments and have no t yet gained any of ficial
certification. They cannot therefore be used for the purpose of
ascertaining wattage or other electric parameters.
● Use each current transformers under a load no greater than its
rated level. When calculating the load, you must calculate the
sum of the load given by the instruments to be connected to the
transformer and the load given by the lead-wire of the
secondary-stage cable.
● The inner-walls of the clamp are treated with rust prev entiv e. But
if rusted, remove the rust with CRC-5-56 (goods on the market)
and spray rust preventive on the inner-walls again for recovery.
Avoid installing the current transformers in locations subject to:
ambient temperatures outside the specified range of -20 °C to 50 °C, where
condensation is likely; ambient humidity exceeding 80 % RH, where
condensation is likely; relatively large amounts of flammable or explosive
gas, saline substance, lampblack or dust; splashes of water, oil or solvent;
radioactive rays or intense electric or magnetic fields; frequent mechanical
vibration or shock; or direct sunlight.
3. Installation
Cross-check the Model
Make sure the model and suffix codes shown on the data plate attached to
the transformer are the same as specified in your purchase order.

Since there is a risk of electric shock during installation, be sure to
observe the following.
● Before connecting the transformer to any other equ ipment, make
sure the circuit is not receiving any power in order to prevent
electric shock.
● Fasten the connecting terminals securely so they will not loosen
readily.
● Do not touch the terminals or any other part of the transformer
when the circuit is live.
● Do not use the transformer under a circuit current greater than
the level specified for that model.
● Do not use the transformer under a circuit voltage greater than
500 V AC.
● Attach the transformer to the cable according to the orientation of the
K and L symbols, as shown in the figure.
● Cut the tape for fixing the current transformer (accessory) into the
appropriate length and wind the tape around the cable until the cable
becomes the thickness required to fit the inside diameter of the
current transformer.
● Be careful not to make a gap between the inner-walls of the clamp.
● Be careful not to trap any dust between the inner-walls of the clamp.
● Make sure the wound tape is not caught between the flat parts of the
clamp, and then securely fasten the clamp using the buckle.
● Use a crimp-on terminal for 0.75 mm
secondary-stage cable.
● The wires of the secondary-stage cable are color-coded as follows.

NOTE
When extending secondary-stage cable of the current transformer,
use a covered ring-sleeve or the like and a cable of 1.25 to 2 mm².
The standard cable length is as follows.
When secondary-stage current is 5 A:
Up to 2.6 m for 1.25 mm², and up to 4.6 m for 2 mm²
When secondary-stage current is 1 A:
U p to 8.3 m for 1.25 mm², and up to 15 m for 2 mm²
4. Disposal
These current transformers, when no longer serviceable, must be disposed
of as industrial refuse.
5. Specifications
5.1 General
The CTW series are clamp-on current transformers that can be installed
much easier than conventional current transformers, w hereby sav ing labor.
These transformers are particularly useful w hen exp anding ex isting system
since you can attach them to a cable without having to cut it.
