CCS - Model ACT-0750 Series - Split-Core Current Transformers
The Accu-CT revenue grade, split-core current transformer offers outstanding linearity and very low phase angle error with easy one-handed opening and closing, even wearing gloves. The standard Accu-CT meets IEEE C57.13 class 1.2 and when ordered with Option C0.6 it meets class 0.6 accuracy standards. Each Option C0.6 CT ships with a serialized calibration certificate.
The patented Accu-CT split-core current transformer technology delivers exceptional linearity and low-end accuracy. Developed specifically for solar inverter, variable speed motor drive, and other applications where there are large variations in current. The 100:1 turn down ratio of Accu-CTs is ten times better than industry standard CTs. The unique one-handed opening and closing mechanism makes installation a snap.
ACTL series CTs are available in both standard and revenue grade accuracy models. Revenue grade models ship with a serialized certificate of calibration.

Accuracy
The accuracy specifications apply over the full operating temperature range (-30°C to 55°C) unless otherwise noted. Standard models are calibrated for optimum accuracy at 60 Hz. For use with 50 Hz services, we recommend ordering withOption 50Hz. The following accuracy specifications may vary when other CT options are specified. For details, refer to the individual option descriptions.
Standard Accuracy
These specifications are for 60 Hz operation or for 50 Hz when Option 50Hz is specified.
- Accuracy:±0.75% from 1% to 120% of rated primary current
- Phase angle:±0.50 degrees (30 minutes) from 1% to 120% of rated current
- IEEE C57.13 accuracy:class 1.2 from 1% to 120% of rated current
- IEC 60044-1 accuracy:class 1.0 from 1% to 120% of rated current
- Note:The ACT-0750-250 model specifications are valid only to 40°C
Revenue Grade Accuracy
WithOption C0.6, the Accu-CT is calibrated and verified to meet IEEE/ANSI C57.13-2008 class 0.6 accuracy and IEC 60044-1 class 0.5 S accuracy and each CT is shipped with a certificate of calibration. When used on 50 Hz services, Option C0.6 must be ordered with Option 50Hz.
- Accuracy:±0.50% from 1% to 120% of rated primary current
- Phase angle:±0.25 degrees (15 minutes) from 1% to 120% of rated current; ±0.50 degrees (30 minutes) below 0°C from 1% to 10% of rated current
- IEEE C57.13 accuracy:class 0.6 from 1% to 120% of rated current
- IEC 60044-1 accuracy:class 0.5 and 0.5 S from 1% to 120% of rated current
- Available Models:Option C0.6is available for all models except ACTL-0750-005
- Note:The ACTL-0750-250 Opt C0.6 model specifications are valid only to 40°C
Electrical

- Output:333.33 mVac or 1.00 Vac (withOption 1V)
- Output lead wires:
- Style:Two conductor, white and black twisted pair (equivalent to about one #8 AWG 0.213″ dia.)
- Standard length:8 ft (2.4 m)
- Gauge:#18 AWG
- Type:MTW, UL 1015
- Voltage:600 Vac
- Internal Burden Resistance: see ACTL-0750 Internal Burden Resistance
With Option C0.6, the Accu-CT meets IEEE/ANSI C57.13-2008 class 0.6 accuracy and IEC 60044-1 class 0.5 and class 0.5 S accuracy from -30°C to 55°C and from 1% to 120% of rated primary current (see CT Accuracy Standards).
- Note: The model ACTL-0750-250 Opt C0.6 accuracy specifications are valid only to 40°C and 1% to 100% of the full-scale primary current rating (other models are specified to 120%).
- Accuracy improves to ±0.5% from 1% to 120% of rated primary current from -30°C to 55°C.
- Phase angle improves to ±0.25 degrees from 1% to 120% of rated primary current from -30°C to 55°C.
- Includes a certificate of calibration
- Order option C0.6,N if you need the C0.6 accuracy, but do not need a certificate of calibration.
- Not available for 5 amp Accu-CT models.
Standard models are calibrated for optimum accuracy at 60 Hz. Option 50 Hz calibrates for best accuracy at 50 Hz. Option 50 Hz models have the same accuracy specifications as standard models and are also available in combination with Option C0.6 (selected rated amps) for higher accuracy. See ACT-0750 Option 50 Hz for more details on the accuracy differences.
Opt FTThe Accu-CT can be ordered with custom lead lengths. For example, Opt FT=50 for 50 foot leads. We also sell 100 ft coils of lead wire to allow for field extension of the leads. See CT Wire. Option FT does not affect the accuracy specifications.
