MICATU Instrument Transformers

Built on MICATU's proven sensor platform, these non-conductive, maintenance-free solutions provide precise, real-time voltage and current data for protection, metering, and automation - without the risks of oil, gas, SF6 or magnetic saturation and at a fraction of the weight. 

Platformed with the certus or the m410B Advanced Signal Processor for real-time delivery, the MICATU Instrument Transformers deliver a wider range of metrics to power your every analytics need, safely and easily.

Safe

The MICATU Instrument Transformers present no violent failure or electrocution risks, because the optical technology works outside the line current and is electrically isolated.

Accurate

MICATU Instrument Transformers maintain IEEE C57.13 Class 0.3 accuracy across the entire measurement range, regardless of applied voltage or current, and in all typical environmental conditions: from -30° C (-22° F) to 70°C (158° F).

Advanced

The injection-molded HCEP housing is lightweight, durable, and keeps the entire instrument transformer free of conductive materials. The all-optical design keeps the sensor isolated from the current, ensuring high reliability and long life.

Easy Install

A typical three-phase system can be completed in about 3 hours. Each MICATU Instrument Transformer is attached using NEMA standard connections for simplicity. Fiber optic cables connect the sensors to the certusEDGE Edge Processing Unit (EPU) or the m410B Advanced Signal Processor.

Designed to Eliminate the Pain

The MICATU HVIT product line is engineered from the ground up to eliminate the pain points that plague legacy transformer installations.
With no magnetic core, no oil, and no SF6 gas, these fully optical, solid-state devices deliver the industry’s most accurate current and voltage measurements - without saturation, drift, or degradation.

Available in both line-hanging and station post configurations, MICATU’s OITs are lightweight (up to 90% less than traditional units) and compact. They install in hours - not days - and require no specialized environmental handling. This simplifies deployment logistics, accelerates commissioning schedules, and reduces safety risk to field crews.
