Already in 1995, four GSI-made FCTs T-DS114 had been installed in the GSI HEST lines:**
**GTE1DT1FP\\ GTE5DT1FP\\ GHHTDT7FP\\ GHTPDT1FP**
After 2005, commercially available FCTs from [[https://www.bergoz.com/fct?bs=5|Bergoz Instrumentation]] have been added to SIS 18 and ESR:
**GS01DT1FP**, which had been relocated from it's initial position in GS07, eventually**\\ GE02DT1FP**
----
**Main characteristics of the installed FCTs:**
**GSI FCT in HEST lines**
* GSI model no.: T-DS114
* ID of toroid = 160mm
* sensitivity/transimpedance: 0.23 A/V (or 4.2 V/A)
* @termination: 50 Ω
* low freq. cutoff -3dB: ~2 kHz
* high freq. cutoff -3dB: ~300 MHz

**Bergoz FCT in SIS18**
* Bergoz model no.: FCT-260-50:1-LD-H
* ID of toroid = 260 mm
* sensitivity/transimpedance: 0.5 V/A
* @termination: 50 Ω
* low freq. cutoff -3dB: ~200 Hz
* high freq. cutoff -3dB: ~690 MHz
* separate output for Ring RF through power divider, which reduces sensitivity by factor 2 !
