Metering Cores

Our DC immune tape wound cores for Smart Meters are based on the nanocrystalline material NANOPERM® LM.

Compared to conventional Metering cores the NANOPERM® LM products show following benefits:

  • High linearity over the whole primary current range
  • Easy to compensate
  • Very low temperature drift
  • DC immune acc. to IEC 62053; EN 50470-3
  • Ready for the next regulation update reg. supplementary Power Factor conditions

Standard designs for Core finishing:

  • Plastic box (material UL listed, QMFZ2 E41938)
  • CT Cores with other dimensions or permeability levels are also available upon request as well as complete wound CT Components (see checklist).
