Check that power is being supplied to the instrument, and then apply the primary current.

Read the measured values. The following calculation is used to determine the current flowing
through the primary conductor.
Example:Whentheoutputcurrentfromtheinstrument'ssecondaryconnector(pin6)is100mA.
CT2000A:100mAx2000=200A
Note
• IftheoperationstatusLEDisoffevenwhenpowerisbeingsuppliedtotheinstrument,the
protection function may be activated. Immediately stop the primary current.
• Onlypassconductorsthroughtheprimaryconductorfeed-throughholeifthecurrentthatyou
want to measure is flowing through the conductors and their current directions are the same.
Correct measurements cannot be taken if you pass conductors with magnetic shielding or
conductorswhosecurrentdirectionsareoppositeofeachotherthroughthefeed-throughhole.
• Makesuretheprimarywiringandsecondarywiringdonotinterferewitheachother.The
secondary wiring may be affected by the primary wiring because it uses a very small current.
Make the secondary wiring as short as possible and maintain its distance from the primary
wiring, without allowing them to be parallel to each other. We recommend AWG24 or higher for
thesecondarywiringmaterial.Twisted-pairmaybebetterthanshieldedcableformeasurement

•The instrument outputs current. Connect the instrument to a measuring instrument with
current input. To connect the instrument to a measuring instrument with voltage input, use an
appropriate shunt resistor to connect the instrument to the voltage input terminals.
•Configure your setup so that the load resistance of the measuring instrument connected to the
secondary signal output is within the specification range.

PowerOffIfAbnormalBehaviorOccurs
If you notice smoke or unusual odors coming from the instrument, immediately turn off the
measuring instrument supplying the power. Then, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.

Overload Protection
TheoverloadoccurswhentheprimarycurrentIpexceedsatriplevelsuchthatthefluxgatedetector
becomes completely saturated and, consequently, the current sensor will switch from normal

The measuring operation resumes when the primary current returns in the measuring range
between –Ipn and +Ipn (2000Arms).
Test Winding Connector
The test winding connector is used to test the operation of the current sensor.
When a current is applied between the positive and negative Ip test pins, a current that corresponds
tothetestcurrentwindingnumberof200andcurrenttransformationratioof2000:1isoutputfrom
the secondary signal output pin.

To measure the current of the primary conductor that has been passed through the through hole,
