Thailand’s manufacturing industry is increasingly focusing on energy efficiency, electricity cost control and smart energy management. For many existing factories, upgrading the electrical monitoring system is an important step toward understanding where energy is being consumed and identifying opportunities to reduce unnecessary energy use.

However, factory retrofit projects often face a practical challenge: the electrical system is already in operation. Installing traditional current transformers may require disconnecting existing cables, modifying wiring or even shutting down equipment. This can increase installation time, labor costs and the risk of disrupting production.

That’s why Acrel AKH-0.66 K-Φ Split-Core CTs are a great choice for retrofit applications.

The split-core structure allows the CT to be opened and installed around an existing cable. There is no need to remove the cable or completely rebuild the existing electrical circuit, making installation much easier for operating factories.

This can significantly simplify the retrofit process and reduce the manpower, material resources and financial costs required for installation.

By installing split-core CTs on existing distribution circuits, factories can add current measurement to their electrical monitoring system without major modifications.

They can be used as part of solutions for:

• Factory energy monitoring
• Sub-metering for different production lines
• Monitoring major electrical loads
• Energy management systems
• Electrical distribution system upgrades
• Existing building and industrial retrofit projects

The compact design also helps save installation space, while high accuracy and strong load capacity make the CTs suitable for energy metering and electrical monitoring applications. The series is rated for AC 0.66 kV and 50–60 Hz, with multiple opening sizes and current ratios available for different applications.
