Description
The Flexible AC Current Probe is a flexible AC current transformer
composed of a flexible sensor and an electronic module. The flexible
sensor permits measurements on conductors where standard clamp-on
probes could not be used. In particular, it can be installed in tight spaces,
around breaker panels, around cable bundles, around wide or large bus
bars, or even wrapped around irregular shapes. The Shape Memoryª
feature enables the user to Òpre-shapeÓ the sensor before inserting it
between or around conductors. This feature facilitates closing, enhances
user safety, and alleviates the drooping effect typically associated with
flexible sensors.
The Flexible AC Current Probe is lightweight. It does not use magnetic
cores like standard transformers. The transformation principle is based
on an air core. It presents virtually no load to the system under test, has
a low phase shift and excellent frequency response, and cannot be
damaged by overloads. The sensor assembly is waterproof and
insulated for 1000 V Cat. III. The Flexible AC Current Probe meets IEC
1010, is CE marked (1997).
The Flexible AC Current Probe has a mV output proportional to the
current measured for direct readings on DMMs, data loggers,
oscilloscopes, and power or harmonic meters. TRMS measurements are
taken when connected to a TRMS meter. The Flexible AC Current Probe
is insensitive to DC currents and only the AC component of the
measured signal is measured.
The length of the flexible sensor can be selected in lengths of 24", 36",
and 48" in length. Consult the factory for custom lengths, ranges and/or
features.

Please make sure that you have already read and fully understand the
WARNING section on page 2.
Making Measur ements wi th the Fl exi bl e AC Cur rent Pr obe:
· Connect the electronic module to the AC Volt range of your DMM or
measuring instrument. Select the appropriate module output voltage
range. If the current magnitude is unknown, and if the Flexible AC
Current Probe has two ranges, select the lowest mV/A output setting.
· Wrap the flexible core around the conductor to be tested. If possible
within range, select the higher mV/A Flexible AC Current Probe output
range to obtain the best resolution. Do not exceed specified current
range for the output. Do not use on selected range if overload LED
goes on.
· Read the displayed value on the DMM and divide it by the range
selected (i.e. if reading = 2.59 V with the 10 mV/A output range, the
current flowing through the probe is 2590 mV Ö 10 = 259A).
· For best accuracy, carefully center the conductor inside the flexible
core, and avoid if possible, the proximity of other conductors which
may create noise and interference (particularly near the latch).
· True RMS measurements are obtained when the Flexible AC Current
Probe is connected to a True RMS meter. Note that the DC
component is not measured.
Tips for Maki ng Precise Measurements:
· When using the Flexible AC Current Probe with a meter, it is important
to select the range that provides the best resolution. Failure to do this
may result in measurement errors. For best results, select the highest
Flexible AC Current Probe output signal possible and the most
sensitive meter range for this output.
· Make sure the DMM or measuring instrument can accurately measure
mV AC. Certain inexpensive DMM have poor resolution and accuracy
when measuring low mV AC.
· For best accuracy, center the Flexible AC Current Probe around the
conductor to be measured. (See figure 2).
