M30 CTs for Industrial Loads - Kryd - 09-01-2025
Greetings,
We recently bought a kincony M30 unit and would like to measure industrial power three phase consumptions. We have 4 breakers rated 630A, 630A, 340A and 320A. Is it possible to use 2000/1 current transformers for this measurement? if not, can we use a higher transformation ratio like 3000/1, 4000/1 or 5000/1 and adjust in software to keep the secondary current low?
I've read in others threads that 2000/1 CTs are okay but that the M30 limit is 50ma of secondary current or 1V.
Any workaround to make this measurement possible?
Thanks!

suggest you chose N60 board, now the hardware design use for 2000:1 CT sensor. if you want to use other typs, need replace resistance on PCB.
N60 design the detect range is more wide than M30.

For the M30 which resistances need replacement for a higher capacity CT? and which amount for 1000 A CT for example? it can vary its rating to a maximum of 5000:1 (even 8000:1 ratings or custom i think) according to the following CT:

If we go with the N60, does it have three phase capabilities? what is the maximum CT capacity and for which ratings? It says 120A for 2000:1 CT, is this correct?
