AEMC MD300 Data sheet
AC Current Probe
Model MD301
The Model MD301 is built for
ruggedness, versatility and ease of
use. It is designed with a unique
hook-shaped jaw that enables the user
to “pry” into or “hook” onto cables (will
accept 2 x 500kcmil) or even smaller
bus bars.
The Model MD301 measures up to
500A. It provides a voltage output
proportional to the measured
current.

This voltage output enables
instruments without current ranges to
measure, display or log currents on an
AC voltage range.
The electronics and batteries are
self-contained in the handles.
The output of AC probes is
d c /Aa c .
1mV
