Product Information

Full details

This Victron Energy CTR120000550 current transformer is designed for users of MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid-II systems who want to enhance their energy management capabilities. Its key benefit is enabling advanced features like PowerControl and PowerAssist, along with optimizing self-consumption through external current sensing. A key consideration is that it measures current indirectly and requires careful installation on a single conductor. This transformer provides an output current proportional to the main conductor's current, up to a nominal 100A.

FAQs

What is the maximum current this transformer can measure?

The Victron Energy CTR120000550 has a nominal current rating of 100A, with a maximum allowable current of 120A.

What is the output current of this transformer?

The transformer provides an output current of 50mA, which is proportional to the current flowing through the monitored conductor.

Can this transformer be used with any Victron inverter?

This specific transformer (CTR120000550) is designed for use with Victron Energy MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid-II systems.

What is the maximum diameter of the conductor it can fit around?

The transformer is designed to fit around conductors with a maximum diameter of 12-13mm.

Does the cable come with a connector?

No, the included 5-meter cable is wire-ended, meaning it does not have a pre-attached connector and requires direct wiring.

How do I install the current transformer?

Install by clamping it around a single conductor and connecting the wire-ended cable to the designated sensing input on a compatible Victron inverter, then configure it via software.

What does 'indirect current sensing' mean?

It means the transformer measures the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the conductor, rather than directly measuring the current itself. This is a safe and non-invasive method.

Troubleshooting

Current readings are inaccurate or zero

Ensure the transformer is correctly clamped around a single conductor and that the connection to the inverter is secure. Verify that the transformer settings are correctly configured in the inverter's software.

PowerControl/PowerAssist functions not working

Check the physical connection of the transformer's cable to the inverter. Ensure the correct model and settings for the current transformer are selected in the inverter's configuration.

Transformer not recognized by the inverter

Verify that the inverter firmware is up-to-date and supports the current transformer. Double-check the wiring of the transformer's cable to the appropriate sensing port on the inverter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances functionality of MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid-II systems
  • Improves energy efficiency and self-consumption optimization
  • Safe, non-intrusive current measurement
  • Robust design with a 5-meter cable for versatile installation
  • Accurate proportional current output for precise monitoring

Cons

  • Requires compatible Victron Energy inverter systems (MultiPlus-II/MultiGrid-II)
  • Installation involves working with electrical conductors, requiring care
  • Cable is wire-ended, necessitating direct wiring connections
  • Only measures current on a single conductor

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure your system includes a compatible Victron Energy MultiPlus-II or MultiGrid-II inverter.
  2. Identify the main conductor you wish to monitor (e.g., the main AC input or output line).
  3. Carefully open the clamp of the current transformer and position it around the single conductor. Ensure it is securely closed.
  4. Connect the wire-ended 5-meter cable to the designated sensing input on your Victron inverter according to the inverter's manual and local electrical codes.
  5. Configure the current transformer settings within the Victron inverter's interface (e.g., VEConfigure).

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for Victron Energy MultiPlus-II and MultiGrid-II systems.
  • Nominal Current: 100A (Max 120A)
  • Output Current: 50mA
  • Conductor Diameter: Up to 12-13mm

Care:

  • Keep the current transformer clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents or harsh chemicals.
  • Regularly inspect the cable and connections for any signs of damage. Do not operate if damaged.
