ABB KORC 4S 235R/4 is a high-precision window-type (ring-core) current transformer designed for medium-voltage (MV) power systems up to 12kV. Part of ABB's industry-renowned KORC series, this CT provides accurate current measurement and reliable protection signals for switchgear applications, including ABB UniGear ZS1 and other metal-enclosed switchgear panels .
This model is available under two ABB ordering codes:
1SCA022193R7410
1SCA022142R2080
Both codes refer to the same core specification and are fully interchangeable.
