C-TRAN COMBINED 3 PHASE CT
& MULTIFUNCTION TRANSDUCER
WITH RS485 OUTPUT
DESCRIPTION
The C-Tran is combined 3 phase multifunction AC
Power transducer and 3 phase current transformer.
The C-Tran is fully programmable through either of
the two communication ports
APPLICATION
The C-Tran can replace traditional multifunction
meters and 3 separate current transformers with an
all in one combined product with RS485 output
