Safety Information
Symbols Afxed to the Device
Indicates cautions and hazards. When the symbol is
printed on the instrument, be sure to also read the
accompanying “Operating Precautions” before use.
DANGER
• If the cable insulator melts, metal parts could be
exposed, posing a hazard. Keep the cable away
from sources of heat.
• Connect the device to only the secondary side of
a distribution panel. Even if a short-circuit occurs
on the secondary side of the distribution panel,
the distribution panel will interrupt a short-circuit
current. Do not connect it to the primary side of
the distribution panel because an unrestricted
current ow could damage the device and
facilities if a short-circuit occurs.

Make sure the direction of the arrow on the case matches the direction
of the current ow, as shown in the gure below. If they are oriented
incorrectly, the output signal from the sensor will be reversed. When
using the device in combination with a power meter, conform to the
power meter’s wiring method.

Warranty
Warranty malfunctions occurring under conditions of normal
use in conformity with the Instruction Manual and Product
Precautionary Markings will be repaired free of charge. This
warranty is valid for a period of three (3) years from the date
of purchase. Please contact the distributor from which you
purchased the product for further information on warranty
provisions.
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the HIOKI Model CT6877, CT687701 AC/DC Current Sensor. To obtain maximum performance
from the product over the long term, be sure to read this
manual carefully and keep it handy for future reference.
Be sure to also read the accompanying “Operating Precautions”
before use.
Target audience
This manual has been written for use by individuals who
use the product in question or who teach others to do so.
It is assumed that the reader possesses basic electrical
knowledge (equivalent to that of someone who graduated
from the electrical program at a technical high school).
Troubleshooting
If the device seems to be malfunctioning, contact your authorized
•
Hioki distributor or reseller.
Store the packaging materials even after unpacking, because you
•
will need them when you transport the instrument.

WARNING
Do not place the cable in contact with the
measured line. Any contact can cause the device
to malfunction and lead to a short-circuit or electric
shock.
CAUTION
• To prevent cable damage, do not step on cables or
pinch them between other objects. Do not bend or pull
on cables at their base.
• Do not place the device on an unstable table or an
inclined place. Dropping or knocking down the device
can cause injury or damage to the device.
• The cable is hardened in freezing temperatures. Do
not bend or pull it to avoid tearing its shield or cutting
cable.
• When the power to lines to be measured is turned on
or off, a current owing through the lines can exceed
considerably the maximum allowable current of the
device. This could result in damage to the device.
Make sure that there is not any over-current.
• Make sure that applying any current could cause
damage to the device if it is turned off.
Overview
This pull-through current sensor has excellent frequency
characteristics (amplitude, phase) and temperature
characteristics (sensitivity, offset), which enables high-precision
power measurement as well as current measurement.
Use with Other Hioki Products
This device is used in connection with a dedicated instrument (Hioki
product). Refer to “Combined accuracy and conditions” specied in
the specications for details.
Output connector
Measurement Procedure
Inspection Before Use
Verify that the device operates normally to ensure that no damage
occurred during storage or shipping. If you nd any damage, contact
your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Check Items Remedy
Is the device cracked or
damaged?
Is the cable insulation
torn?
Is the cable broken at the
base (of the connector or
the sensor)?
If there is any damage, electric
shock may result. Discontinue use
and contact your authorized Hioki
distributor or reseller.
Broken connections will make proper
measurement impossible.
Discontinue use and contact your
authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Mount
CAUTION
• Do not use the device fastened on a wall in locations
susceptible to vibration or impact. Failure to observe
this can cause damage to the device.
• Use a wall strong enough, such as a metallic wall,
to fasten the device. Fastening the device on a lowstrength wall may cause damage to the wall.
• Use hexagon socket head cap screws and tighten them with
the recommended torque to fasten the device on a wall.
• Install additional supporters when the device is to be
fastened for a long time.
• Remove the device from a wall at the time of transportation.
Recommended tightening conditions
Nominal screw size: M5
Screw length: 20 mm or more
Tightening torque: 1.5 Nm to 2.0 Nm
Whether the power is single-phase
or three-phase, the devise cannot
measure a current if two or more of the
conductors pass through the window in
a bundle.
Shield
The device cannot accurately
measure a current that passes
through a conductor sheathed with
a grounded shield.
• Arrange the conductor as close to the center of the through window
as possible. For a current to be measured of frequency 1 kHz or
more, the conductor position could cause increase in measured
value error or distortion of output-signal waveforms.
• If a conductor not being measured carries a current of frequency 1
kHz or more, keep such conductor at least 100 mm away from the
device. Failure to observe this could cause increase in measured
value error or distortion of output signal waveforms.
• Use the device with its surface temperature of 105°C or less.
Options
CT9901 Conversion Cable
Connecting the CT9901 enables the device to connect to an instrument that
does not support direct connection with the device (No accuracy is affected).
CT9902 Extension Cable
• Connecting a CT9902 enables the device cable to be extended by 5 m (max. 10 m).
• Up to two of the Extension Cable available (If three or more extension
cables are connected to the device, its performance is not guaranteed)
• Add the following to the sensor accuracy for each cable used:
