Milesight CT105-868M 500 A split-core LoRaWAN current transformer with transceiver and antenna

Product Description

Milesight CT105-868M LoRaWAN® Smart Current Transformer is a non-invasive split-core current monitoring solution intended for indoor electrical distribution and industrial facilities. The CT105 has a 500 A RMS rated primary current. Its 36.5 mm conductor opening is suitable for high-current feeders, large motors, chillers and industrial electrical panels where remote current monitoring is required.

CT105 measures RMS current on a conductor at a 50–60 Hz supply frequency. It uses up to 3.3 kHz sampling, 1 mA resolution, and a manufacturer-stated accuracy of ±1% above 5 Arms and ±3% at or below 5 Arms. It supports time-based reporting of current and accumulated ampere-hours, threshold and overrange alarms, and optional temperature sensing through a USB-connected NTC probe. A current measurement alone does not establish accurate true-kWh metering without the appropriate voltage/power information.

Battery-free operation: the transformer normally harvests power from the measured conductor. For low-load applications or USB operation, it can instead be powered at 5 V via USB Type-C. With current-harvested power, the official CT10x datasheet lists CT105 minimum reporting current of approximately 5 Arms at 1-minute intervals and 4.7 Arms at 10-minute intervals. For lower currents, USB power may be required.

The CT105-868M model is the 868 MHz / EU868 LoRaWAN® regional variant. It supports OTAA/ABP Class A, an external SMA antenna, configuration by USB Type-C or LoRaWAN downlink, and Firmware Update Over the Air (FUOTA). Standard LoRaWAN gateways and the Milesight Development Platform can provide remote visibility of monitored current and alerts. The design uses a CT clamp and separate wireless transceiver that can be positioned for better RF coverage.

Technical highlights: 500 Arms rated primary current; 150 mArms rated secondary current; 36.5 mm conductor opening; CT clamp dimensions 68 × 86 × 41.8 mm; transceiver dimensions 38 × 34.5 × 16 mm; blue PBT+PC UL94 V-0 housing; IP30 indoor protection; operating range −20°C to +70°C; listed CE, FCC and UL508 approvals. Installation and commissioning should be performed by appropriately qualified electrical personnel under site safety procedures.

Model: CT105-868M. SKU: 2ESE2148. OEM: Milesight. Seller Warranty: 1 year. Important for India: EU868 is not the same as IN865. Confirm the actual radio variant, LoRaWAN gateway frequency and applicable Indian wireless approval prior to purchase or installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Milesight CT105-868M Current Transformer measure?
The Milesight CT105-868M is a LoRaWAN® smart current transformer for monitoring RMS AC current up to 500 Arms on a single conductor in a 50–60 Hz electrical system. It can report current and cumulative ampere-hour data, plus threshold / overrange alarms. Current measurement alone does not provide a certified kWh energy reading without additional system data.
What is the rated current, clamp opening, and measurement accuracy of CT105?
The CT105 (not CT103 or CT305) has a rated primary current of 500 Arms, a 150 mArms secondary rating, and a 36.5 mm conductor opening. It samples at 3.3 kHz and has 1 mA resolution. The CT10x OEM datasheet lists ±1% accuracy above 5 Arms and ±3% at or below 5 Arms.
Does the CT105 need a battery, and how does it work at low currents?
No battery is required: the unit normally harvests electrical power from the measured conductor. It can also be powered at 5 V through USB Type-C. The official CT10x datasheet lists about 5 Arms minimum reporting current at a 1-minute interval, or 4.7 Arms at a 10-minute interval when conductor-powered. USB power may be needed at lower loads.
Can CT105-868M be remotely configured and used with an Indian LoRaWAN network?
The EU868 / 868 MHz CT105-868M supports LoRaWAN OTAA/ABP Class A, configuration over USB Type-C or downlink, and FUOTA with compatible infrastructure. EU868 differs from the IN865 regional frequency plan commonly required for Indian LoRaWAN deployments. Verify the exact device variant, gateway plan and applicable local radio authorization before ordering or installation.
What comes with the CT105 sensor, and how should it be installed?
The OEM CT10x packing guide describes a smart current transformer, a USB-C NTC temperature sensor, a stubby LoRaWAN antenna, warranty card and quick guide; the exact shipped accessories should be confirmed against the supplier packing list. The CT105 uses a clamp around a single conductor, with a separate wireless transceiver and indoor IP30 housing. Only qualified electrical personnel should install equipment near energized conductors. TwoElectrons offers a one-year seller warranty subject to published terms.

Other Information

Product Application Areas

Remote AC current monitoring in industrial feeders, large motors, chillers, electrical panels, smart buildings, power distribution rooms, machine condition monitoring and facilities management.

Measurement Scope

The CT105 directly measures AC RMS current and accumulated ampere-hours. Actual active power in kW or energy use in kWh requires further voltage, power-factor and system information; do not describe it as a standalone revenue-grade energy meter.

Model Information

This product is Milesight CT105-868M with a 500 Arms primary current rating. All specifications in this listing refer to CT105 only. OEM source document: https://resource.milesight.com/milesight/iot/document/ct10x-datasheet-en.pdf

Electrical Installation Safety

The split-core design is intended to simplify retrofit installation without disconnecting conductors. Installation on or near energised electrical systems must be performed by qualified personnel using suitable isolation, PPE and site safety procedures; check conductor size and equipment ratings.

Power and Minimum Reporting Current

The unit normally harvests power from conductor current, without batteries. USB Type-C at 5 V can support low-current operation. The CT105 specifications identify 5 Arms minimum at 1-minute reporting or 4.7 Arms at 10-minute reporting when harvesting conductor power.

Remote Configuration and Monitoring

USB Type-C console and LoRaWAN downlink support configuration. LoRaWAN Class A with a compatible gateway, network server and Milesight Development Platform supports remote measurement collection, thresholds and management.

Optional Cable Temperature Monitoring

The optional USB-connected NTC accessory measures cable temperature across −20°C to +100°C, as specified in the OEM documentation. Confirm whether the accessory is supplied in the specific order.

Frequency Region / India Deployment

The requested CT105-868M uses 868 MHz EU868. IN865 is a different regional variant listed by Milesight. Before installation in India, confirm factory radio plan, gateway regional settings and any required regulatory clearance.

Antenna and Accessory Selection

The family supports a standard stubby antenna and alternative options such as magnetic or mini-stubby antennas. The exact antenna and accessory package must be confirmed with the supplier.
