5kv Switch Ammeter Retrofit

5kv Switch Ammeter Retrofit

5kv Switch Ammeter Retrofit

(OP)
Consider outfitting existing 5kV (4160V ac 3P) outdoor metal enclosed switches (Westinghouse WLI or similar) with an ammeter.
Installing CTs with KA style analog meters is an option.
I am curious if:
1. Any CT-powered digital ammeters available? (Or Battery Powered)
2. Any manufacture have a kit / retrofit kit for this application (similar to the many options for low voltage retrofit metering.
Any peak value or logging functions would be a bonus. The intent is to mount an outdoor meter enclosure at or near the 5kV switch.
Just curious if anyone has completed or seen a similar retrofit.
Thanks.
