DataNode 5513 Sample Current Connection
Current probes are connected to each line and positioned to measure currents with reference to the voltage
probe. Incorrectly positioned current probes may produce erroneous power measurement.
Example: Single phase current probe connection
The following figure shows how to connect a current probe to channel A for current monitoring of a single
phase line.
The current probe may be connected to the return line if desired to measure the return current when checking
for load current leakage, loop current relationships, etc. If measuring power, position the probe with the arrow
pointing towards the load.
