Connecting Current Probes, continued
Example
The diagram on page 2-27 shows how to connect a current probe for current monitoring
of a single phase line. The channel to be monitored can be any channel so designated by
the operator.
WARNING
DO NOT USE non-insulated current probe cores around a non-insulated wire.
Probes of this type are designed for use around insulated wires only. Use only
completely insulated probe cores with no exposed conductive areas of the core
around non-insulated wires.
ADVERTENCIA NO UTILIZAR transformadores de corriente sin material aislante al rededor de
conductores sin material aislante. Los Transformadores de corriente de este tipo
están diseñados para ser utilizados solamente con conductores con aislamiento
eléctrico. Utilizar transformadores de corriente completamente aislados
alrededor de conductores sin aislamiento.
AVERTISSEMENT N'EMPLOYEZ PAS les noyaux courants non-isolés de sonde autour d'un fil non-
isolé. Des sondes de ce type sont concues pour l'usage autour des fils isolés
seulement. L'utilisation seulement a complétement isolé des noyaux de sonde sans
des secteurs conducteurs exposés du noyau autour des fils non-isolés.
WARNUNG
VERWENDEN Sie keine Stromzangen mit nicht isolierten Ferritkernen bei
Messungen an nicht isolierten Leitungen. Stromzangen dieses Typs sind nur für
Messungen an isolierten Leitern geeignet. Bitte verwenden Sie zur Messung an
nicht isolierten Leitungen Stromzangen mit vollständig isoliertem Kernmaterial.
Probe
positioning
An arrow marking on the handle is a guide to ensure that you position the probe with
the arrow pointing towards the load when monitoring the line conductor. Correct
positioning of the probe is necessary for correct power measurements, where in-phase
voltage and current measurements are necessary. A positive watts reading indicates that
the probe is pointed towards the load, and a negative reading indicates that the probe is
pointed towards the source.
