Current Measurement
Measuring Principle
The instrument is designed based on the principle of electro-
magnetic induction. The magnetic field corresponding to the cur-
rent flowing through the conductor to be measured is detected
by a current transformer that consists of a magnetic core and
coil. The current transformer generates the current correspond-
ing to the magnetic field. The detection resistor converts this cur-
rent into the voltage to calculate the value of the current flowing
through the conductor.
Measuring method
1.
Select current measurement mode with the
2.
Position the conductor in the center of the clamp
sensor.
To perform measurement accurately, place the conduc-
tor to pass through the center of the clamp sensor at a
right angle.
