Features
- Metering-focused design: The LJZN1-10 is mainly used for energy metering applications rather than general multi-core protection CT functions.
- 0.2S / 0.2S accuracy: The accuracy combination supports high-precision current measurement for billing and metering circuits.
- State Grid standard reference: The product is designed according to Q/GDW 11681-2017 and customer-specific technical requirements.
- Wide ambient range: The -25°C to +55°C operating temperature range supports demanding indoor metering environments.
- Epoxy cast-resin insulation: Fully enclosed dry-type insulation improves dielectric stability, moisture resistance and mechanical protection.
- Clear metering selection: The technical table is organized by rated primary current, rated output and thermal/dynamic current values for metering project selection.
Principle
The LJZN1-10 current transformer works by electromagnetic induction. The primary current generates magnetic flux in the magnetic core, and the secondary winding outputs a proportional low-current signal to the metering device. For energy metering use, the CT must keep ratio error and phase displacement within the required accuracy range under the specified rated burden.
Because this product is used for metering rather than heavy protection configuration, selection should focus on the rated primary current, rated secondary current, accuracy class, rated output and the matching burden of the meter and secondary wiring. The secondary circuit shall remain closed during operation, and a proper shorting device should be used for maintenance.

This model adopts an indoor fully enclosed epoxy cast-resin insulation structure. The primary conductor, secondary winding and magnetic core are encapsulated in the resin body to provide stable insulation, mechanical strength and reliable long-term performance in indoor switchgear. Compared with general protection-oriented CTs, this product is positioned mainly for metering use, where ratio accuracy, phase displacement and secondary output consistency are more important than multi-function protection combinations.
