Specifications
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 50-60 Hz.
The following accuracy specifications apply to the standard model (no options) or for Option C0.6; the specifications may vary for other options, so see the details on individual options for specifications.
Standard Accuracy
- Accuracy: ±0.75% from 1% to 120% of rated primary current

Options
Opt C0.6
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).
- 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.
Opt 50Hz
The ACT-1250 series of transformers are not available with a 50 Hz option, because it is not needed. The standard models (including Opt C0.6) meet the accuracy specifications over the full range from 50 to 60 Hz.
Opt FT
The Accu-CT can be ordered with custom lead lengths. For example, Opt FT=50 for 50 foot leads. We also sell extra lead wire to allow for field extension of the leads. Option FT does not affect the accuracy specifications.
Advanced Options
The Accu-CT advanced options are generally not useful when ordering the Accu-CT for use with a WattNode® meter, but may be useful for other applications.
