Overview

The nVent CTMB4001LS is a 1-phase current transformer (CT) mounting base designed for CT cabinets in single-phase, three-wire systems. This 400 Amp base provides dual connection options with mechanical lugs or 1/2-inch studs on 1-3/4-inch centers, accommodating both direct lug termination and bolted stud connections. The pre-punched mounting holes align with standard nVent CT cabinet studs for secure, straightforward installation. Constructed from 12-gauge galvanized steel, the base offers a durable, electrically isolated platform with corrosion-resistant properties for extended service life. A neutral bar with a 10-32 tap screw is included for comprehensive circuit management. The CTMB4001LS supports ANSI 12.11 spacing for bar-type current transformers and handles conductor sizes ranging from (3) 750MCM to 1/0 or (6) 250MCM to 1/0 per phase. With a maximum voltage rating of 600 VAC and an A.I.C. rating of 50,000, this mounting base is suitable for industrial and commercial CT cabinet applications requiring reliable termination and mounting solutions.
