Schneider Electric METSECT5HG025 PowerLogic HG Type 250/5 A Class 3 32.5mm Current Transformer

The Schneider Electric METSECT5HG025 is a PowerLogic Type HG split-core current transformer for cable mounting, ratio 250/5 A, Class 3 accuracy at 3 VA. It clips around a cable up to 32.5 mm diameter without opening the circuit, supplying a standard 5 A secondary to a power meter or protection relay on a 250 A feeder.

Selection Notes

The METSECT5HG025 clamps onto a cable up to 32.5 mm diameter for a 250 A feeder without breaking the conductor, which is the main reason to pick a HG split-core type over a solid-core busbar transformer. Class 3 accuracy is intended for basic current indication and ammeter circuits rather than metering, where tighter error margins matter less. Choose the next current rating in the HG series if the measured feeder load exceeds 250 A, since the window size stays the same across the family.

Applications

The clip-on HG body lets a panel builder add the METSECT5HG025 to an existing 250 A cable run during a metering or protection upgrade, without disconnecting the conductor or shutting down the circuit to fit the transformer.
